Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (sliced) carrots
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup (diced) onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 cup (diced) celery
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 6 cups dry stuffing mix (herb-flavored)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) parsley
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the dry stuffing mix until evenly moistened.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and parsley. Add the cooked carrots and stuffing mixture to the bowl, stirring to combine evenly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Dot the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is heated through.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
