Sweet Potato Casserole

--- Ingredients ---

4 medium sweet potatoes.

1/2 teaspoon of salt.
8 oz of crushed pineapple.
1 tablespoon of packed brown sugar.

1 teaspoon of water.
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows
1/4 cup of chopped pecans.

Place one tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, the water, cinnamon and nutmeg in medium bowl. Microwave on full power until the butter is melted (about 90 seconds), stirring after half way through.

Add marshmallows; toss to coat. Top sweet potato mixture with marshmallows.

Microwave on full power until the marshmallows are melted and potatoes are

Sprinkle with pecans.
