Scalloped carrots

Not a low-fat, low-calorie recipe, oh my!

My, oh my, oh delicious!

  • 12 medium carrots, peeled and slided 1/4" thick

Cook carrots in a small amount of boiling, salted water 5 minutes, or until just crisp tender.

Drain and set aside.

  • 1/2 c butter
  • 1/2 c minced onions
  • 1/4 c flour
  • 1/4 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper (or black)
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 c shredded Cheddar cheese

Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat.

Add onion and cook until tender.

Whisk in dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly (to get rid of the raw flour taste).

Gradually add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly.

Add salt and cheese, stirring until cheese melts.

Add the carrots and stir to combine.

Pour into a lightly greased 2-quart casserole.

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 c soft bread crumbs

Add breadcrumbs and stir gently with a fork to combine.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole.
