baked macaroni and cheese with bread crumb topping

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST CARROT CASSEROLE They are all grown and packed in the United States at peak freshness. You could even add in more veggies like broccoli, cauliflower or other Libby’s® Canned Vegetables which come in a variety of family favorites, including Sweet Corn, Green Beans, Carrots and Peas.

Bake for 25 minutes and then garnish with freshly chopped parsley.īy using canned carrots you save time but don’t skimp on flavor.

Mix the carrots and the cheese sauce until combined and then top with bread crumbs.

Place Libby’s® Sliced Carrots into a small casserole dish that is oven safe and then cover it with the cheese sauce.

Once the mixture thickens on a medium-low heat you’ll reduce the heat to low and add in freshly shredded cheddar cheese.

Slowly add in milk and whisk until the flour and milk are combined.

To make the roux you’ll heat the butter in a saucepan and then add in the flour and form a paste/roux.

Make the basic roux with butter and flour, 1 tablespoon each.

First, start by making the cheese sauce.

To finish I bake just like I would for baked macaroni! I pair the carrots with my homemade cheddar cheese sauce which we typically use for baked macaroni and cheese and then top with my homemade bread crumbs. It’s the perfect side dish, especially during the winter! I’m very excited to be partnering up with Libby’s® Fruits & Vegetables to share this delicious cheesy carrot casserole. Everyone loves mac and cheese, right? Well, let’s ditch the macaroni and add the veggies! Can’t fool the kids? Use the same white cheese sauce and PUREE the carrots into the sauce and then make with macaroni.
