the first time i tried this it was at Picadilly Cafeteria. this is a really tasty side dish that just grows on you as you are eating it. to get the kids to eat this, we sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top just before serving. it makes it slightly sweeter and is a good alternative for those who do not like sweet potato caserole.

I have made this twice. I may have tagged it somewhere but have forgotten where. THE PICKY ONE who claims to hate carrots had 3rds of this! We decided it was beautiful, easy & delicous enough for a holiday table so we had it again Christmas day. That time I altered it slightly, using only 4TB butter & (ack) fat free half & half (that doesn't even make sense!!) so my mom would eat it. I did use the eggs. (Mom would have used egg beaters) A very impressive dish that is delicious & easy. I used a 2lb bag of mini carrots & steamed them in my Pampered Chef microwave steamer. It doesn't get any easier!! Thanks, Littleturtle!

Made this dish for Christmas dinner. I think it is a wonderful side dish. I made it in the morning and heated it for dinner. Has a beautiful color on the buffet table. It has a lite carrot taste, not to sweet. Adults and children liked it. Will definately make again.
