It was served at a minister's/wives banquet we attended this year. Everyone raved over it. It tasted more like a very delish sweet potato dish. Try it this year. You will love it :)<br /><br />3 lbs carrots<br />2 1/2 c. sugar<br />1/2 c. plain flour<br />1 Tbs. baking powder<br />1 Tbs. vanilla<br />9 oz. margarine (melted)<br />4 eggs (separated)<br /> <br />Boil carrots until tender, drain, & mash. Blend carrots, egg yokes, vanilla, and margarine until smooth. (Use a blender to ensure smoothness) In a large bowl, mix carrot mixture, sugar, flour, and baking powder until smooth. Beat egg whites until stiff, then fold into carrots. Pour mixture into a baking dish that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray. Bake @ 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes. Baking time depends on the oven & size of baking dish. Souffle is done when a knife comes out clean. This dish can be mixed and frozen to bake later.Tracie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04129626719120956825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478504501333938729.post-78213205413684214342010-11-09T05:55:00.000-08:002010-11-09T05:56:45.764-08:00Creamy Hash Brown Casserole1/4 cup butter, plus more for dish <br />1 onion, chopped <br />1 (16-ounce) container sour cream <br />1 (10 1/2-ounce) can cream of celery soup <br />1 (8-ounce) package shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend <br />1/2 teaspoon garlic powder <br />1 (30-ounce) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed <br />1 teaspoon salt <br />1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper <br />2 cups crushed potato chips <br /><br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
