Radish Casserole: One of Our Favorite Farm Fresh Sides

THM-S, Low-Carb friendly, plus new Additional chicken option!

Radish Casserole? Why do I want to make anything from radishes…they are strong tasting and I think I’ll just pass.

Don’t Pass Up this Radish Casserole Recipe

Before your eyes glaze over and you click away from this recipe, please here me out! My version of radish casserole has no raw radish bite, and tastes better than potato casserole. (At least to my family!)

I posted this recipe to Instagram a few months ago, and I realized I never posted it to the blog for everyone else to see. Here was my original post:

Do you remember eating the traditional hashbrown/potato casserole at church potlucks or family cookouts? This reminds me of that dish– but I like my radish casserole even better!

There is a specific way to fix the radishes in this recipe that you must do if you want the perfect result! If you are like us, and your garden yields a ton of radishes; this recipe is a delicious way to use them up. Or just buy a bag from the store. 😊

Let Me Show You How to Make Radish Casserole

Ingredients:

4-5 cups thinly sliced radishes

1 cup sour cream

4 oz cream cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tbsp softened butter

2 tsp each of: dried parsley, nutritional yeast, onion powder

1 tsp each of: mineral salt, dried dill weed, black pepper

Topping:

6 crushed Light Rye Wasa Crackers (can be found at Wal-Mart or Kroger. Light rye fits this into low carb territory.)

¼ cup melted butter

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp poppy seed

Preheat oven to 375.

In this photo, I’ve added a shredded chicken!

Directions for non-spicy radishes:

First, boil the sliced radishes in water for about 15-20 minutes, or until slightly softened. Strain them, then place them in a 9×13 baking dish.

Pre-boiling them like this takes away that signature radish bite. Which is a good thing in this casserole.

Combine the rest of the ingredients from the top list together with the radishes.

Make the topping in a separate bowl, combining all ingredients together, and sprinkle the crumbles evenly on top of the radish mixture.

Put it all in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.

That’s it! Crispy, gooey, goodness! (And you won’t believe it’s radishes!)

Optional Chicken Add-In

After finding that I didn’t have a full bag of frozen garden radishes…I decided to add chicken to this dish! And boy…it was delicious.

Just follow the normal recipe, reducing the radish amount or hey…you don’t even have to do that, keep the full amount if you want.

Add in approximately 2 lbs of chicken breast, cooked and shredded. Mix it in with the rest of the casserole ingredients, then add the topping just like the recipe calls for.

It certainly dresses up this casserole to add the protein!
