Reviews
I’ve never met a yam I didn’t like and this casserole did not disappoint! I had never made a marshmallow-topped yam dish before so I was excited to try it. Turns out, the marshmallows melt almost all away so there wasn’t the “wow” factor I was expecting. Next time I may just put them on top and broil them for a minute. I loved the cinnamon and nutmeg in this recipe. It had so much sweet flavor. Next time I would also use crushed pineapple instead of the chunks and maybe add more of it. I will be making this again. It was super easy and my sweet-tooth loved it!
