CHEESY CARROT CASSEROLE
Time 50m
Number Of Ingredients 10
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:
- Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots will give the casserole a sweeter, more vibrant flavor. If you only have frozen carrots on hand, thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses will give the casserole a rich, flavorful sauce.
- Add some herbs and spices: A little bit of thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder can help to enhance the flavor of the casserole.
- Serve the casserole hot: Puffed carrot casserole is best served hot and bubbly. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.
Conclusion:
Puffed carrot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give puffed carrot casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
