Nuts add crunch and nutrition.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Microwave sweet potatoes in plastic bags with holes poked in them and a little water for about 14 minutes until tender.

Peel the sweet potatoes after microwaving.

Add butter to the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl.

Add brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract (1.5 to 2 teaspoons) to the bowl.

Beat the mixture with a hand mixer until smooth.

Add a little bit of milk to the mixture, just enough to keep it creamy.

Butter a 9x13 baking dish.

Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly in the buttered baking dish.

Top with marshmallows (about 1 cup, optional).

Prepare the crumb topping by mixing brown sugar, flour, and room temperature butter until it resembles sand.

Add cinnamon to the crumb topping mixture.

Spread the crumb topping over the marshmallows in the baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes until the topping is gooey and the eggs are set.

Check for doneness after 30 minutes; the creator's casserole took 40 minutes to bake.
