Sharing is caring!

Carrots and zucchini are baked in a rich and cheesy casserole and topped with a crunchy bread crumb layer.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 2 cups peeled and sliced zucchini
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups half-and-half
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • ½ cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
  • seasoned dry bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the inside of a 2-quart casserole dish.

Boil carrots in a pot of lightly salted water until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Add zucchini and onion; boil until zucchini is tender, 5 to 10 more minutes. Drain.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter forming a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir half-and-half into paste, stirring constantly, until mixed. Add bouillon cubes and stir until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add Colby-Jack cheese, mustard, and dill; whisk until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vegetables. Transfer mixture to prepared casserole dish.

Mix bread crumbs with 1/4 cup melted butter in a bowl until butter is fully incorporated. Sprinkle over top of casserole.

Bake casserole in the preheated oven until bubbling and topping is browned, about 45 minutes.
