Cheesy Carrot Casserole

This is another recipe my Gramma has made since forever. I think some version of this recipe has been made in households across America. It's awesome. Even my picky, non veggie eating little brother eats this.

• 3 cans of carrots
• 1 (8 oz) package velveeta cheese, sliced
• 1 stick margarine, melted
  
• Ritz crackers, crumbled

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Spray casserole dish with non stick cooking spray.
3. Alternate layers of carrots and cheese in the casserole dish, ending with a layer of cheese.
4. Pour melted margarine over the top.
5. Sprinkle top with crushed Ritz crackers.
   
6. Bake for 30-45 mins.

Ingredients:

1 can cheap small biscuits

Place your biscuits in the bottom of a 9x9 square dish, press to make a "crust" Cook and drain your meat, stir in salsa, Layer on top of the uncooked biscuits, meat mixture, cubed cheese, meat mixture, cubed cheese. Cook like it tells you to on the biscuit can.

This is really simple to make and much better than I had thought. The hubby loved it and said it was good and to make it again!

This was a really good dish. I didn't add the green onions because I didn't have any but I don't think that really matter. We will def. be eating this again! I think I might add some chicken to it next time to give the hubby some meat in his meal LOL.
