Carrot Casserole

[kansasgirl]

We call these 'Ethlynn's Carrots' because my great aunt used to always be in charge of bringing them to family functions. They sound a bit unconventional, but are tremendously good.

Carrot Casserole
2 lb Carrots, sliced
1/4 c Brown sugar
1/4 lb Velveeta cheese
1/2 c Butter

Hello

this really sounds delicious. I think I will try it.

I too have an unconventional recipe for carrots...... cooked in microwave. It goes well anytime as a side dish or a snack

1 lb carrots (grated)

1 cup boiled green peas

1 onion chopped fine

1/4 tea sp. mustard seeds

Salt and pepper to taste.

butter 1 tb sp.

In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter on HI 30 sec to 1 min add mustard seeds and micro HI 30 sec
Add the chopped onions. Micro HI for 2 min. Stir in between. They should be light brown.

Add the grated carrots, salt and pepper. Micro HI for 3-4 min.

Next add the green peas. Mix well and Micro HI for another 2 min.

The final dish should be such that the carrots are firm but cooked.

Sprinkle dried oregano.

The timing may need adjustments for different types of microwaves.
