How to Make Baked Beet Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare 2 lbs of beets (about 4 cups cooked): Boil in salted water for 20-40 minutes until tender, or roast until tender (approx 45 mins at 400°F). Cool and peel.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup water until the mixture begins to thicken.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, and the cooked beets. Stir until well combined.
  5. Pour the beet mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Top with 1 cup dry bread crumbs and dot with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
