Carrot Casserole
This carrot casserole is a comforting yet healthy dish featuring tender carrots, savory onions, melty cheddar cheese, and a crispy seasoned crouton topping. Perfect for family dinners and gatherings!
Ingredients
- 8 cups sliced carrots
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 5 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup seasoned croutons
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish and set it aside.
- Place the sliced carrots in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook until crisp-tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain fully.
- While the carrots are cooking, heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir the condensed cream of celery soup, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese into the onions. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Combine the cooked carrots with the onion mixture in the skillet, then transfer everything to your prepared baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly.
- Top the dish with seasoned croutons. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and drizzle over the croutons for extra crispness.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
