Creamy Carrot Casserole Recipe

My mom and I developed this recipe to see if there was a carrot dish that even people who don't care fp\or carrots would enjoy. So far, I haven't met anyone who hasn't liked our casserole—especially when the carrots are freshly dug from the garden! I've enjoyed cooking for years. My dad was a great encouragement. When I was a girl, he would taste whatever I'm made and almost always say it was "Laurie's specialty". I felt as if I could give just about anything a try. Making desserts is a particular favorite of mine. My husband's a meat and potatoes man, however, so I've had to expand my range a little! We have four children, ages 12 through 5.

My neighbors grew a bunch of carrots, and gave us more then we an handle. I found this recipe and it provided a great use of them, thanks!

Made this for a large family gathering on the weekend, and it was a hit! Wonderful way to use carrots.

Made this dish for Easter several years ago. Everybody loved it, even my daughter who never, never would eat a cooked carrot! I make it often now and it's always a hit!

My husband, who has never gone out of his way to ASK for carrots with dinner, said they were wonderful and asked that I keep the recipe to make again. :)

I'd like it with a little less mayo taste, but it turned out nicely. I did not butter the bread crumbs and they still turned out buttery due to all the fat in the mayo.
