Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and butter or spray your 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Open and drain your can(s) of canned yams then spread the yams in the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the yams, then top with butter slices. Crumble the brown sugar over the yams next, followed by a generous layer of mini marshmallows.
Bake in the center of your oven's middle rack at 400°F (205°C) for 20-25 minutes until the yams are bubbling and the marshmallows are melted and toasted.
Notes
To use a single 29-ounce can of yams, place the drained yams in an 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Top with ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) sliced butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and about 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows. Bake as directed above.
