Make Ahead
You can totally make this recipe ahead of time. Whether you are a doubling or tripling the recipe, mix the ingredients together, place in a casserole dish and cover before placing in the refrigerator. Place the pecans and marshmallows in an air tight container and store on the counter.
Place the topping (pecans and marshmallows) on the sweet potato casserole just before baking to prevent them from getting soggy in the refrigerator.
