Notes
Baking time may vary with the size of the casserole dish and individual ovens. I use an 8x8 baking dish, but you can double the recipe for a 9x13 or larger pan.
If butter pools on the top of the casserole, stir before adding marshmallows.
Save time, and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer to the oven to brown the marshmallows.
