Carrot casserole combines sweet carrots, browned onions, a creamy sauce and a crunchy topping. Made with just a few ingredients, it's a deceptively simple side dish that's truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Ingredients

8 cups sliced carrots
2 medium onions, sliced
5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup seasoned croutons

Directions

Place carrots in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onions in 3 tablespoons butter until tender. Stir in the soup, salt, pepper and cheddar cheese.
Drain carrots; add to the onion mixture. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with croutons. Melt remaining butter; drizzle over croutons. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes.

Whenever I make this dish, people rave about how good it is. One friend told me, "I don't usually eat carrots, but this is delicious!" That made my day.
