These carrots are divine! I made this even simpler by using baby carrots and cooking them in the microwave, but made the sauce exactly as written (except using lactose-free margarine). The flavors blend together so well, and the mustard gives it a wonderful zing. We'll be making these frequently!

We've been making these for more than three years now. We use baby carrots that are ready to cook when we want to save prep time. Everyone who tastes this recipe comments on it and loves it. Great job & thanks!

Wow! I ate one and was hooked. Wonderful flavor. I used 1 T of dijon and it was a perfect balance. Could have eaten the whole batch myself.
