Cheesy Carrots
This straightforward side dish requires only two ingredients and is ready in moments. Canned carrots are drained and combined with cubed Velveeta cheese before being microwaved until smooth and creamy. It is a family favourite that offers a comforting, cheesy vegetable option without the need for butter or additional toppings. The recipe notes that while fresh carrots can be substituted, the canned variety yields a particularly pleasing result.
Ingredients
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can sliced carrots
- 2 ounces Velveeta cheese
Method
- Drain the canned carrots thoroughly to remove any excess liquid.
- Transfer the well-drained carrots into a dish suitable for microwave use.
- Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes and add them to the dish with the carrots.
- Microwave the mixture, using 1 minute intervals on high, stirring well after each interval until the cheese is fully melted and creamy.
- Note that fresh carrots may be used if they are cooked beforehand, though canned carrots are recommended for the best outcome.
