Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Yam Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

   Now, it’s time to mash those yams until they’re smooth and creamy.

6. Step 6

   As you’re mashing, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

   Next, stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.

8. Step 8

   Beat this delightful mixture until it’s light and fluffy, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.

   Carefully transfer the yam mixture into an ungreased 3-quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
