Cheesey Carrot Casserole

6/12/2015

0 Comments

 

I received this recipe from Sue Kay Smith after tasting it at one of The Women of the Moose dinners at the lodge in Plymouth Indiana. When I asked her if she would share her recipe, she whipped out of her purse a sheet of the recipes. I guess I wasn't the only one who liked her recipe. LOL Apparently there had been request the last time she made it.

1 pkg carrots
(1 lb whole carrots)

1 chopped onion.

1 tlb sugar

1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

¾ cup Mayonnaise

1 stick melted butter

1 crumbled sleeve Ritz Crackers

Salt to taste
(I like creole seasonings)

Boil carrots for 15 minutes. Slice and place in a casserole dish. Add onion, sugar, cheese, mayonnaise and combine. Combine butter & crackers and sprinkle top of casserole. Bake at 350º for 20-25 minutes.

I used 1 small bag of the baby carrots & halved the recipe. I also used light Blue Plate Olive Oil Mayonnaise when I made it as well. It wasn't quite as good as hers but still good. Trying to watch our fat intake and olive oil is good for you. (at least that is what they say today who knows what tomorrow holds LOL) When I make it next time I will use regular mayonnaise.

I chopped the carrots into 1/4" bites.

Place carrots in a pot and covered with water. I placed a pat of butter in the water and boiled for 15 minutes or until tender.

While carrots were cooking I melted the remaining butter in the skillet I was going to bake the carrots in. (I used 1/2 a stick in halfed recipe. I had put a pat from that 1/2 a stick in the carrots when boiling.)

To make the topping I crushed the crackers while still in the package by pressing down on the top and compressing the sleeve.

Place 1/2 of a sleeve of the crackers in a bowl with the melted butter and set aside for the topping

Grate cheese & set aside.




Chop onion and placed in the skillet that I melted the butter in. There is just enough left in the skillet after pouring in the crackers.

Saute' onions until translucent.
Drain carrots when tender and place into the skillet along with onions, mayonnaise, salt and sugar. Stir to combine. When combined add 2/3 of the amount of cheese and stir leaving a small amount for topping.

When combined smooth out the ingredients so that you can place toppings.
