Rich and cheesy, this casserole is the very best way to eat carrots. Pretty orange slices peek out from under a bed of buttery cracker crumbs. My mom loves to cook and share recipes. She picked this one up from a dear friend. -Gloria Grant, Sterling, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots, sliced
  • 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 6 ounces process American cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/2 cup crushed saltines (about 15 crackers)

Directions

  1. Place carrots in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; place in a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter and cheese, stirring often. Stir in dill. Pour over the carrots. Toss the saltines and remaining butter; sprinkle over carrots.
