Ingredients

2 cups sliced carrots
2 cups peeled and sliced zucchini
¼ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

ZUCCHINI AND CARROT CASSEROLE

Zucchini and Carrot Casserole image

This is one of my all-time favorite casseroles. I haven't posted it before because I assumed someone would have already posted it. I was looking for something else and came across a similar recipe, but not the same. So I decided to post this before it gets lost. Addendum: I hadn't made this in awhile until tonight. Because I am trying to lose weight I cooked the vegetables in a covered pan sprayed with PAM and omitted the butter. It turned out just fine. I also added some cubed cooked chicken to make this more of a complete dish. So that is another option with this very versatile casserole.

Tips:

For a creamier casserole, use full-fat sour cream and cream cheese.
If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
To make the casserole ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of baking. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
Serve the casserole hot with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

This carrot and zucchini casserole is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, or everyday meals. You can also make a meal out of it by adding some protein, such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
