Serve these as a side dish with meatloaf, pot roast, or your favorite steak. Ingredients:
1 (1-lb.) package baby carrots |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 (22-oz.) package frozen mashed potatoes |
2 1/2 cups milk |
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Place carrots and 1/4 cup water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; fold back a small edge to allow steam to escape. Microwave at HIGH 8 to 10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Drain.
2. Stir in butter. Coarsely mash carrots with a potato masher.
3. Prepare potatoes according to package directions, using 2 1/2 cups milk. Stir in cheese, next 3 ingredients, and carrot mixture until well blended.
4. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Ore-Ida Frozen Mashed Potatoes. Do not use refrigerated mashed potatoes.
