SCALLOPED CARROTS

Easy, tasty, customizable, you can do ahead of time...I could go on... If you want to mix it up, substitute a little sweet potato for some of the carrots. It is very tasty! Instead of 1/2 cup butter, you can use 2 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons vegetable or seed oil. Instead of 2 cups milk, you can use 1 cup milk and 1 cup chicken stock.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
⅓ cup butter
1 onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
salt to taste
2 cups milk
1 ½ cups cubed Cheddar cheese, or to taste
¼ teaspoon mustard powder
¼ teaspoon white pepper
¼ teaspoon celery seed
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup soft bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole.
  • Place carrots into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the melted butter until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt. Whisk flour into onion mixture until smooth; cook, stirring constantly, until flour mixture is a paste-like consistency and light brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium; gradually stream milk into flour mixture until thick and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk Cheddar cheese, about 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring until cheese melts each time before adding more, forming a smooth sauce, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in mustard powder, white pepper, celery seed, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour sauce over carrots and toss to coat; transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter and bread crumbs together in a bowl until well coated; sprinkle over carrot mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and topping is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender carrots: Look for carrots that are smooth, brightly colored, and free from blemishes.
  • Slice the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a skillet, make sure there is enough space between the carrots so that they can brown evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to prevent the carrots from burning.
  • Cook the carrots over medium heat: This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Stir the carrots occasionally: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the carrots to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh.
