What a great way to dress up what many think of as a lowly vegetable! I love carrots raw or cooked, & your recipe takes 'em to a whole new level! The only thing I left out were the optional jalapenos! Absolutely appreciated this carrot casserole, & thank you for sharing it with us! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hits recipe tag]

I made this up earlier in the day and popped into the oven (165C fan forced) for about 25 minutes. I also steamed my carrots for 8 minutes and used 1 slice of wholemeal/wholegrain bread (processed in the food processor) which gave me just under 4 tablespoons of crumbs and I used a mix of red and yellow peppers and the 3 of us enjoyed our generous side serve of carrots, thank you MarraMamba, made for Everyday A Holiday.

This carrot casserole is fantastic! Love the combination of flavors and spices, and the thick and creamy sauce is just delicious. I used fat-free evaporated milk and light margarine with great results. I used a couple of generous sprinkles of crushed red pepper flakes instead of the optional chopped jalapeno and that gave it a nice little kick. This is a keeper - thanks for sharing the recipe!

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
