Hello!
I meal prep for the week. So, this week I wanted barbeque chicken strips and Bugs Bunny Casserole.
Bugs Bunny casserole is a tasty little side dish that is low in calories and very flavorful. Guess what the main ingredient is? If you guess carrots, you are correct.
I simplified this and instead of getting carrots by the bunch, I just got a couple of bags of baby carrots. No scraping, just a quick wash and then in a pan of water to cook.
This recipe calls for two tablespoons of buttery crackers to put on top, but I omitted it from my version. I was afraid of when I heated it up the crackers that were supposed to supply a little crunch to the top, when reheated wouldn’t. You couldn’t even tell it was missing.
After I cooked the carrot casserole and cooled it, I put it in a bowl with a lid and took it off to the fridge. It reheats very nicely.
This will pair well with most meats and will make a nice addition to a picnic or family get-together.
Simple to make and economical too. Not to mention, getting some healthy vegetables in some of those who shy away from them.
