    Normally, I like to make our Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Casserole because it is so simple and easy to throw together holiday mornings. I changed my mind because one of my cousins brought this casserole to our holiday get togethers last year and I knew that I would be making it for my family this holiday season.

    The casserole is not overly sweet or bland which is perfect in my book. I am considering making the sweet potatoes ahead of time so that it is an easier Thanksgiving morning prep. You could do that as well. Just save the streusel for day of.

    The recipe calls for some simple ingredients. If you do not have half and half on hand, you could use milk or even a heavy cream. I used a salted butter. If you are using unsalted, you can add in a dash of salt when making the casserole. Miniature marshmallows will work best but you could cut large ones in half if that is all you have on hand.

    INGREDIENTS
    4 large Sweet Potatoes
    10 tbsp Butter, divided
    1/2 cup Half and Half
    1 1/3 cup Brown Sugar, divided
    1 tbsp Vanilla
    3/4 tsp Nutmeg, divided
    3/4 tsp Cinnamon, divided
    2 1/2 cup Mini Marshmallows
    1/2 cup Flour
    1/4 cup Quick Oats

    DIRECTIONS
    Preheat oven to 400.
    Line baking sheet with foil.
    Wash and pierce sweet potatoes. Then place on prepared pan.
    Bake for 1 hour.
    Remove skins from potatoes and discard.
    Place potatoes in large bowl.
    Mash or beat potatoes.
    Add 6 tablespoons butter and beat until creamy.
    Add Vanilla, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup Half and Half, 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg.
    Beat until well blended.
    Preheat oven to 350.
    Heavily butter 2 quart casserole and add sweet potato mixture.
    Sprinkle marshmallows on top.
    In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons butter in microwave.
    Add flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, quick oats, 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg.
    Mix together with a fork until crumbly.
    Sprinkle mixture over marshmallows.
    Bake 30-35 minutes.

      Can I use regular oats? I don’t keep quick oats on hand.

      If I prepare this the day before can I transfer it to a crockpot the day of to do the rest of the cooking (350 for 30 minutes)?

      I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! The only thing I am wondering is where in the receipe do you add the vanilla? It’s on the ingredients list but it is not in the instructions.

      Thanks for your help and the GREAT recipe. The oat topping was delicious!

      Your recipe says 1 Tbsp. of vanilla but it doesn’t specify if it is to be added to the potato mixture or the crumble. Needs to be edited or have an attachment saying where the vanilla goes. :-) Thanks!!

      Do you think you could make all of this the night before, and then just pop it in the oven when it’s almost turkey time?

        Hi Erin! You could. I would be sure to add the topping just before baking though. Happy Holidays to you!

      This looks really good! Since I’m making a lot of stuff for Thanksgiving, can I make this the night before and warm it up before serving? We’re having Thanksgiving lunch instead of dinner.

        Nobody responded. Did you make it the night before and how did it turn out?
