1/2 cup butter
6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2″ thick slices
2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave.

2. Place the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Place the sweet potatoes in a separate large bowl. When the butter is melted, pour over the sweet potatoes and toss to ensure all the sweet potatoes are coated. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again to ensure all the sweet potatoes are coated with the mixture. Pour the sweet potatoes into a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish.
