Cheesy Turnips and Carrots
SUBMITTED BY:

I normally do not like cheesy-vegetable recipes, but this was really good! Instead of putting the turnips & carrots back into the sauce, I put them in a baking dish, poured the sauce over and popped it in the oven for abut 15 or 20 minutes. I probably used a bit less cheese that what's called for but will make this the same way again. Nice to have another way to prepare turnips!

I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine years ago and have made it frequently since. It's an excellent side dish for holiday meals, especially if you're having company, as it makes quite a bit. I made the mistake once of doubling it, and we had way more than we could possibly eat. The cheese sauce is delicious and is a perfect compliment to the turnips and carrots. It's a delicious side dish, and one I'll continue to make for years to come.

Pretty good, I liked the combination of turnips and carrots. The turnips do get a bit lost, though. It is more of a recipe to disguise them than play to them. Next time, I would make the cheese sauce without extra vege water, I found it too thin and without enough flavor. I think that just the milk and cheese would be much better!

This was quite tasty. My first time using turnips and I look forward to cooking them again. I made the dish early in the day and then put it in a 2 quart casserole dish in the fridge and cooked it in the oven for about 1/2 hour at 350 (until it was bubbly). It was terrific!

WOW. Turnips made yummy. I get turnips every winter from my CSA, and struggle to find a recipe that makes them edible. This was wonderful! I didn't even have carrots. I also didn't have fresh ginger so I tossed a chunk of candied ginger in there, and just fished it out when the turnips were cooked.

My husband cringed when I said "turnips", but he loved this, as did I. What a good combination! Wish I would have made this sooner!

I needed a turnip recipe & this was very good. Next time I may replace the ginger with some dried mustard. I joined a CSA for healthy eating and here I go cooking the veggies in butter and cheese-- Next time I'll try to cut back on both. I liked the slight crunch of the celery.

Really tasty! I decreased the amount of cheddar to a little over a half cup (all I had on hand) and it was still very cheesy!
