I think this would have gotten 5 stars from my family if I had cooked the carrots longer before I put them in the casserole. It was definately a different way to make carrots for us, which is what I was looking for. Will definately make again, Thanks!

Another great carrot recipe! Love that bit if crunch from the fried onions. Just the right amount of sauce. I'll make this again; the kids really loved it! Thanx!
