Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Cabbage and Carrot Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a large pot and set it over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add some water and toss in the chicken bouillon cubes, stirring until they dissolve completely.
Step 4
Next, introduce the sliced cabbage and grated carrots to the pot, letting them cook until they’re tender—this should take about 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 5
Once they’re just right, drain the vegetables but be sure to save about half a cup of that flavorful cooking liquid.
Step 6
Transfer the veggies into an 8x11-inch casserole dish, spreading them out evenly.
Step 7
Now, let’s make a delicious cheese sauce! In a separate saucepan, melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 8
Once it’s melted and bubbly, sprinkle in the flour and stir it around for about a minute until it’s nice and hot.
Step 9
Gradually pour in the reserved cooking liquid along with some milk, stirring continuously to create a smooth mixture.
Step 10
As the sauce thickens, add in the shredded Cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts into a creamy delight.
Step 11
Pour that luscious cheese sauce over the cabbage and carrots in your casserole dish, making sure to coat everything evenly.
Step 12
For a little extra flavor, sprinkle some paprika on top to taste.
Step 13
Now, it’s time to bake! Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it’s hot and bubbly, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 14
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds!.
