Sweet Potato and Pecan Casserole

Sweet Potato and Pecan Casserole

2 (24 oz.) cans sweet potato or yams in light syrup
10 oz. pecan pieces
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 stick or 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup small marshmallows

First, drain juice from canned yams and place yams in mixing bowl.
Add pecan pieces, sugar, butter and 1/2 of the marshmallows (also, reserve
some of the pecans for garnish).
Using a large fork or "masher", mix all of the ingredients until combined
well.
Place mixture in a baking dish, cover and bake at 350 degrees for about 35
minutes.
Add the remaining marshmallows and pecans to the top to garnish and return
to the oven uncovered until top is browned.
Serve as a side dish and enjoy! Excellent with baked ham.
