Cheesy Carrots

By Jac_M

Rich and cheesy, this casserole is the very best way to eat carrots. Pretty orange slices peek out from under a bed of buttery cracker crumbs.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds carrots, sliced
• 1/2 cup butter, divided
• 6 ounces process American cheese, cubed
• 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
• 1/2 cup crushed Ritz

Preparation

Step 1

Place carrots in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; place in a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter and cheese, stirring often. Stir in dill. Pour over the carrots. Toss the Ritz and remaining butter; sprinkle over carrots. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Yield: 8 servings.
