CARROT AND CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE



Carrot and Cauliflower Casserole image

This recipe came from the Holladay 7th Ward Cookbook, and was posted by Jeanne Forsberg. I found this when I had half a head of cauliflower and some carrots, and needed a vegetable side that I thought I could get kids to eat. As usual, cheese comes into play!

Time 1h

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 carrots, scraped and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cauliflower head, broken into flowerets
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup whipping cream (I have substituted fat-free half and half successfully)
3/4 cup swiss cheese, shredded and divided
2 green onions, chopped
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • Cook the carrot in a small amount of boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain, and place in a lightly greased 1 quart casserole.
  • Cook the cauliflower in a small amount of boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender. Drain. Add the cauliflower to the carrots, and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the broth and cream; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. (Do not get it too thick). Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese, green onions, and mustard, stirring until the cheese melts.
  • Pour the sauce over the carrots and cauliflower, stirring gently to coat well. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the mixture is thoroughly heated. Remove the cover and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables: Fresh cauliflower and carrots will have a better flavor and texture than older or wilted vegetables. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Cauliflower and carrots should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to choose one that has a lot of flavor. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good options.
  • Add some herbs or spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the casserole. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, and thyme.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can be reheated, but it will lose some of its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower and carrot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its creamy sauce, flavorful cheese, and tender vegetables, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this cauliflower and carrot casserole a try.
