Cheesy Carrot Onion Casserole

Ingredients

2 cups carrots, sliced thick

1 cup onion, diced

1/2 cup celery, diced

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. sugar

1 stick butter

3 Tbsp flour

2 cups milk

1/2 pound processed cheese, cubed

1 cup buttered bread crumbs

Method

Place a little amount of water in the bottom of a large 

saucepan. Place the saucepan over high heat. Add the 

carrots, onions, celery, salt and sugar and mix together well. 

Bring water to a steady boil. Continue boiling 6 minutes or 

just until the carrots begin to tender. Drain well in a 

colander. Place the stick of butter into a saucepan over 

medium heat and allow the butter to completely melt. Stir in 

the flour and continue stirring until the flour and butter begin 

to bubble. Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Carefully 

fold in the cheese cubes. Continue cooking over low heat, 

stirring continuously until the cheese has completely melted 

and the mixture is smooth. Turn the oven temperature to  

180 deg. C  and allow the oven to heat. Spray the sides and 

bottom of a large baking dish with a non stick cooking spray. 

Place the vegetables into the prepared baking dish. Pour the 

cheese sauce over the vegetables. Sprinkle the entire top 

with the bread crumbs. Bake 30 minutes or until the centre 

begins to bubble.
