This was a recipe given to me by my sister-in-law. She served it at Easter with pork roast and ham. It was a nice change from the typical green bean casserole or mashed potatoes. Bear in mind, this isn't a "pretty" looking dish, but it's very tasty and lends itself well to any adaptions that you want to make.

**Due to a lactose intolerance, my s-i-l made it with goats milk and rice milk cheddar, but I have to say, you wouldn't have known it. I made it with regular milk products and it's also tasty.


Carrot Casserole

2 lbs carrots
2 eggs
1 c milk
1 c cracker crumbs (can use bread crumbs)
3/4 c grated cheddar cheese (mozarella also nice)
1/4-1/2c softened butter or margarine
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
salt to taste
pinch of cayenne pepper (can substitue curry power)

1. Peel and chop the carrots; place in large pot of boiling water and boil until soft; drain water and mash or put through potato ricer. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and seasonings. Add butter, cheese and cracker cumbs; stir well.

3. Add in mashed carrot mixture and stir until well combined. Turn into a well greased casserole dish and bake @ 325C for approx. 50-60 minutes.

EE I am going to try this, it sounds yummy. I'm curious about the combination of the sweet carrots and the cheese. I have a recipe that's similar but on the "sweeter" side. I'm going to try your sis-in-law's recipe this weekend. Thanks for making this available to us.
