How to Make Carrot Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 1.5-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  3. Steam or boil the carrots until crisp-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well.
  4. Transfer the cooked carrots to the prepared casserole dish.
  5. Add 1 cup of croutons to the carrots.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the carrots and croutons.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  8. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the carrots, croutons, and cheese.
  9. Bake uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
