Company Carrots (from Aunt Shell)

Company Carrots

turn these into a fancy dish!

one of my favorite Thanksgiving/fall/holiday dishes

Easy - healthy - and quite easy

2.5 lbs. carrots whole (baby okay too)
     save quarter cup of the water you cooked the carrots in
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1T. minced onion
1 T. prepared horseradish (awesome little kick/secret ingredient!)
salt and pepper to taste
quarter cup of saltine crackers / crushed (I personally use more)
2 T. butter or margarine melted
a little bit of chopped parsley on top
a little bit of paprika on top

Directions:
cook carrots until tender, save a quarter cup of the water, if doing long carrots cut lengthwise, put in a 9x9 dish, then combine mayo, horseradish, salt and pepper (the sauce), put over the carrots, crackers/butter mixture on top.  (Sometimes I sprinkle more minced onion on top of the crackers.)

Bake @ 375 for 20 min.

Enough for 8 people
