• 2-3 slices bacon

• 3T butter
• 1/2tsp salt
• 1/4tsp pepper

• Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 2 quart casserole with cooking spray and set aside.
• Dice bacon and fry until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in pan. Add 1 T. butter, nutmeg and onions. Saute onions over low heat until nicely browned. Add the bacon back in. Set aside.
• In a microwave safe cup, melt the 3 T. butter and then add cream and cheese. Stir to melt, heating for 20 second intervals as needed.
• Place 1/2 the turnips in the bottom of the casserole dish; then salt and pepper the turnips, followed by 1/2 the onion mix and 1/2 the cheese sauce. Repeat layers then top with additional cheese if using.
• Cover well and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15-20 minutes or until top browns and it's all bubbly and tender.
