I created this recipe when I was trying to use up some frozen carrots. I used the typical green bean casserole as my inspiration because it’s such a hit in our house. My goal is to fix vegetables so my kids will eat them. This way they have to eat the carrots to get the french fried onions on top! I know blanched vegetables are better for you, but I think of ANY vegetable kids will eat is better than none at all. It’s only my opinion.

My mother-in-law asked me where I got the recipe, one day when they ate with us. I told her it was something I just put together. "Oh really?" This from the lady who taught ME how to cook. I was excited, inside, to get that kind of reaction from her because she's such a good cook!
Now depending on the size of our family gatherings, I get asked to bring this recipe or the corn recipe on here!
