How to Make Rutabaga Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and dice 2 pounds of rutabaga into 1-inch pieces.
  3. **Boiling Method:** Boil diced rutabaga in 4 cups of salted water for 20-25 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
  4. **Microwave Method:** Combine diced rutabaga and 1/2 cup of water in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for 15-18 minutes, or until tender, stirring halfway through.
  5. Mash the cooked rutabaga with 1/2 cup of reserved cooking liquid (or milk/cream for extra richness) until mostly smooth.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the mashed rutabaga with 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  8. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbly.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
