Pat’s Turnips

This recipe is so delicious it helped one woman forge a closer relationship with her brother’s wife.

Pat's cheese-covered turnips dish

A little cheese sauce and some diced potatoes are the secret to this dish.

Ingredients

4 turnips, diced 8 oz. Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
3 potatoes, peeled and diced ¼ c. grated cheddar cheese
1 onion, peeled and diced 1 teas. salt (optional)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

2. Place diced vegetables in a 5-quart pot. Add salt and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil.

3. Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes with lid on.

4. Drain water. Add Velveeta cheese. Pour into ungreased 8×8 casserole pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese on top.

5. Since the vegetables are already cooked, the casserole only needs to be in the oven long enough for the cheese to melt—about 5-10 minutes.

Serves 4.
