I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-IT'S-CARROTS CASSEROLE!



I-Can't-Believe-It's-Carrots Casserole! image

This is the best darn carrot dish in the whole world. It's so good even my dad--who abhors carrots and usually won't even look at them--devours it like there's no tomorrow! This is almost sweet enough to be dessert. Maybe it's too sweet for those of you who are used to plain or savory carrots! In my family we like sweet carrots to complement the rest of the grub on the table, and this saves on time and money that might be spent on dessert. You can make this with squashes, too. Be sure to cook the carrots until they are almost mushy, so that you will get a smoother texture when they are mashed. My family prefers a coarser texture, so I just use an old-fashioned potato masher, but you can puree the carrots in a food processor or blender if you prefer. This is not a quick dish, so you can make it ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake, if you wish. Adapted from a recipe from Allrecipes.com.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 -8 large carrots (about 1 lb., 3 cups cooked & mashed)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or 1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (or an equivalent amount artificial sweetener)
2/3 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground mace or 1/2 teaspoon allspice
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Peel the carrots, trim the ends, and cut into chunks about 1 inch long. Place in a saucepan with water to cover, and cook over medium-high heat until very tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Drain the carrots well and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher to finely mash the carrots.
  • Add the butter/margarine to the carrots and blend well with an electric mixer or a wooden spoon. Add the remaining ingredients to the carrots, mixing until smooth.
  • Pour the carrot mixture into a buttered 3-4 quart casserole dish or baking pan.

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.
