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.

CHEESY BROCCOLI-CARROT CASSEROLE



Cheesy Broccoli-Carrot Casserole image

Provided by Kitchen Crew

Categories     Side Casseroles

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 oz broccoli, frozen
1/4 c onion, chopped
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
1/2 c sour cream
1 c cheddar cheese
1 c carrots, shredded
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp butter, melted
3/4 c stuffing mix, herb-seasoned

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan cook chopped broccoli and chopped onion in a small amount of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • 2. In a 1 1/2 quart casserole combine soup and sour cream. Stir in shredded carrots, flour, salt and pepper.
  • 3. Fold in drained broccoli-onion mixture and cheese.
  • 4. Combine stuffing mix and butter, sprinkle over vegetables.
  • 5. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until heated.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are too thick or woody.
  • Shred the carrots finely: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or experiment with other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve the casserole hot: Cheesy carrot casserole is best served hot and fresh from the oven. It can be reheated, but it's not as good as when it's first made.

Conclusion:

Cheesy carrot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover carrots, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender carrots, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
