Scalloped Turnips w/Caramelized Onions

I saved this from a low-carb recipe site a few weeks ago and just got around to trying it.

It's a keeper! Even The Teen liked it. We'll be making this again for sure!

Scalloped Turnips w/Caramelized Onions

4 large turnips; peeled and cleaned, sliced into thin slices and boiled
for 3 minutes in water with 3T cream added; drained well
2-3 slices bacon
1T butter
1 large onion, sliced into paper thin rings
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded white cheese of your choice (I used a mixture of mozzarella and Swiss)
Additional 1/2 cup cheese for top(optional)
3T butter
1/2tsp salt
1/4tsp pepper


Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 2 quart casserole with cooking spray and set aside.

Dice bacon and fry until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in pan. Add 1 T. butter, nutmeg and onions. Saute onions over low heat until nicely browned. Crumble the bacon back in. Set aside.

In a microwave safe dish, melt the 3 T. butter and then add cream and cheese. Stir to melt, heating for 20 second intervals as needed.

Place 1/2 the turnips in the bottom of the casserole dish; then salt and pepper the turnips, followed by 1/2 the onion mix and 1/2 the cheese sauce. Repeat layers then top with additional cheese if using.

Cover well and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15-20 minutes or until top browns and it's all bubbly and tender.
