Swiss Carrot Casserole created by Parsley

A quick make ahead dish good for buffets or potlucks. Another favorite of mine from the Benjamin Franklin award winning cookbook of midwestern U.S. origin called "Hollyhocks and Radishes."

I wish I could give this a better review, but we just didn't like it. I made it for (cdn) Thanksgiving. It seemed to need more flavour and less carrots, maybe it would be better with a few different vegetables.

I really enjoyed this casserole. I used swiss in one casserole and chedder in the other. I made a really big servings of this and put them in mini freezer containers when I was done so I can re heat them and pack in lunches as needed. Great recipe, made for ZWT 3!

Just lovely. Not diet food for sure! I had a ton of carrots to use up, and this did the trick. I love the combination of the carrots ans swiss cheese. The white sauce and breadcrumbs were fab as well. Served this as the main dish with a green side salad. Thanks for posting this, would make it again.
