50 minThis casserole walks the line between side dish and dessert, with sweet yams and peaches under a crunchy brown sugar-pecan topping.
The nutmeg in the streusel adds warm spice that ties everything together without tasting like pumpkin pie.
Broiling the marshmallows at the end gives you those golden, slightly charred edges that everyone fights over.
Baking Tips
- Drain the peaches well or the casserole will be soupy instead of jammy
- Cut the butter into the sugar mixture until it looks like wet sand for the best streusel texture
- Watch the marshmallows closely under the broiler; they go from perfect to burnt in about 30 seconds
