How to Make Baked Carrots With Swiss Cheese And Bacon
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- Immediately plunge carrots into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- Layer half of the carrots in a 2-quart greased baking dish.
- Top with 3 slices (approximately 3 ounces) of Swiss cheese.
- Repeat layers with remaining carrots and cheese.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes, or until softened.
- Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
- Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the carrots and cheese.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, 3 slices (approximately 3 ounces) of cooked and crumbled bacon, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Sprinkle the bacon-breadcrumb mixture evenly over the carrots and sauce.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
