Creamy Carrot Casserole

November 4, 2014 by Dangerously-Delicious.com

This is another family recipe that has been around for years and years. It may not look like anything special, but you’ll be shocked at how good this tastes!  It’s a great dish to serve for Thanksgiving or for any week night side dish. The sweet and tender carrots are smothered in a creamy sauce topped with a buttery crumble of Ritz crackers.  It’s a delicious alternative to the mundane steamed carrot. 

Creamy Carrot-Casserole-1

Start off by chopping up your carrots and onion. I use 1 whole bag of baby carrots and 1 small onion.


Veggies for Carrot Casserole-1Boil carrots until tender. You can also mash them if you like. I don’t mash mine just because I have been in the baby stage for so long that anything that is pureed reminds me of baby food. But if you would rather have a smoother consistency, it’s yummy that way too.

Carrots boiling-1Saute onion in butter until soft. Do not brown. Whisk in flour, then milk and continue to cook on low heat until sauce thickens.

Cream mixture for carrot casserole-1Add carrots and stir. Pour into baking dish.

My name is Crystal Dangerfield and I am so excited to bring you tried and true recipes that my whole family and I enjoy together. I love being in the kitchen and trying new recipes. Of course we have our favorites, but my kids are pretty good sports about trying new things. I refuse to buy ready-made frozen meals and refrain from fast food. My kids do not know what a “happy meal” is and I want to keep it that way! My husband was diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease several years ago and I have had to learn how to alter recipes into gluten free versions that the whole family still loves.
