I made these last night and served with a pot roast. What a nice combo! I followed your instructions exactly, but I did add some white shredded cheddar at the end. Thank you for such precise directions. This dish is a definite change from just cooking steamed carrots. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe, Peggy Lynn! --Marla

This carrot recipe is wonderful! I usually make my carrots by simply steaming, but this casserole is a wonderful change of pace! It would be a delightful addition to a special evening planned with dinner guests. I prepared as directed without any changes. Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Peggy Lynn! : )
