CHEESY CARROT CASSEROLE



Cheesy Carrot Casserole image

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup medium onion
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 pounds baby carrots or 12 large carrots, sliced into bite sized pieces
1 cup plain bread crumbs or ritz crackers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish and set aside. Steam carrots until 1/2 way cooked. You want them to be soft enough to bite but still with a bit of a crunch. They'll finish cooking in the oven. As carrots are steaming, in a saucepan combine butter and onion. Cook until onions are soft and translucent. Add flour, salt, mustard and pepper and mix well to create a paste. Slowly add 1/4 cup of milk at a time whisking continually until all the milk has been added to pan. You are making a basic roux. The mixture will thicken quite a bit at first but slowly thin out. If you add all the milk at once you'll have a clumpy mess, so only add 1/4 cup at a time, whisking well. Cook for 5 minutes then turn off burner and add cheese. Mix well until cheese is melted and combined. When carrots are cooked half way, place carrots on the bottom of the casserole dish. Pour cheese mixture on top of carrots ensuring to cover carrots completely. Sprinkle bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers on top of sauce and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a creamier casserole, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a cup of cooked chicken or turkey to the casserole for a protein-packed meal.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the carrots by hand.
  • Be sure to use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
  • Top the casserole with a crunchy breadcrumb topping for an extra special touch.

Conclusion:

Cheddar carrot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Whether you are serving it for a weeknight dinner or a holiday feast, this casserole is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give cheddar carrot casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
