I lost my mother's recipe from the 70's with creamy horseradish and saltines. This was much better. For more power I added diced green Hatch chile. I think maybe a P.F. Goldfish topping next time.

AWESOME! I love carrots and I am always looking for new ways to prepare them. This is something we'll be eating often! Thanks for sharing CookingLuv!

This is another recipe I cut in half while making, & it was made to see how the flavor of the horseradish would combine with the other ingredients, & I'll admit it was very, very good, even if I did use just a very rounded tablespoon of the stuff! Between my love of carrots & my other half's love of horseradish, we both enjoyed this side dish! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]
