Picadilly's Carrot Souffle

Margaret3's Note:

One of the most-often-requested recipes from Piccadilly Cafeterias. I found it in the online edition of the Baton Rouge Advocate. This is not exactly health-conscious, due to the large amount of sugar, but it is delicious and i guarantee kids will eat these carrots!

This recipe is great...but I did change one thing...I only use about HALF of the sugar called for in the recipe. You don't really NEED the large amount called for, since carrots are already pretty sweet when cooked. I made a single batch for a family function and they were GONE before anyone had a chance to go for seconds...now they request at least a double batch of this!!! You HAVE to TRY it!!! Even my DH (who despises cooked carrots) loves it!!!! Thanks for posting!

This recipe is delicious. I used a little less sugar and 1/2 the recomended butter and it was still fabulous. This one is a keeper!!! Love love love

Delicious! This is the first recipe I tried on this website and thought it was outstanding. At the suggestion of another reviewer I also decreased the sugar but used only 1/4 cup and it was still sweet.
This is a keeper and will add it to my collection..... only wish I could download to my IPad!
