Oh I just love carrots and cheese together! For me, this is almost as good as some cheesy mashed potato casserole.
Ingredients:
2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into about 1/2-inch slices
2 -3 tablespoons butter
1/8 cup milk
1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or mild cheddar or american cheese)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4-1/2 teaspoon tarragon
2 teaspoons parsley
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/3 cup soft breadcrumbs
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray a 2-qt or larger baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place carrot slices in a large pot and just cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook carrots until tender; about 10 minutes.
3. Drain carrots and place them in a large bowl. Add butter and milk and mash with a potato masher. Add onion, cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme and parsley and mash together to desired smoothness.
4. Place into prepared baking dish.
5. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp melted butter with the breadcrumbs; sprinkle over mashed carrot mixture.
6. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 - 40 minutes or until bubbly.
