About

"Ehh... What's up, Doc?" Bugs Bunny Casserole is here to bring all your childhood wonders from the screen to your tastebuds! This tasty bake is inspired by everyone's favorite silly, loveable rabbit's favorite crunchy snack: carrots! The orange veggie is tenderized and mixed with a creamy, cheesy, tangy sauce, and topped with buttery crushed crackers. Sounds like a dish so delicious that even Bugs' archenemy, Elmer Fudd, could enjoy. Bugs Bunny Casserole is so nostalgic and enticing that it will have you saying, "That's all folks," when it comes to finding any other option for dinner!
