How to Make Carrots Au Gratin A La Gail
- **Make the Cheese Sauce:** Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Alternatively, melt margarine in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend) until melted and smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- **Prepare the Carrots:** While the sauce simmers, peel and slice 1 pound of carrots. Finely chop 1/2 cup of onion.
- Sauté the onions and carrots in 1 tablespoon of butter until the carrots are almost tender (about 8-10 minutes).
- **Combine and Bake:** Add the cooked carrots and onions to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.
- Pour the carrot mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Top with 1 cup crushed cornflakes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
