This my go to side dish because it is easy to prepare, something that I can make ahead and/or freeze, and it goes with turkey, chicken, beef, pork, or fish. Really it does. There is not a holiday meal without this carrot casserole. Everyone loves it. We traditionally make it in a bundt pan and then place buttered peas in the middle of the turned out casserole before serving it. I have made it in ramekins, but you can double the recipe and put it in a 13x9 casserole dish.

Man, I've been meaning to make this ever since back when you first posted it. It looks very tasty. One of these days I will have the proper line up of ingredients and I will make it! It is on my list.

This sounds wonderful. I never thought of a carrot casserole....and those pies on your table would be impossible to resist.

Thanks for the clarification re freezing/make ahead. I am going to try it for American Thanksgiving in Canada! Cheers.

What a fun idea. Let me know how it turns out.

Sounds great. How do you make ahead? Do you cook it and simply reheat? Or do you store it before cooking and cook as per instructions? Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the clarification question. I will work on that. I usually make it, freeze it and pull out about 60-90minutes and leave it room temperature before my cook time. I have never cooked it and then froze it. I have also made this two days ahead and just kept in the fridge until I want to cook it as well. It keeps perfectly. I hope that you enjoy it. It is something that I crave around this time of year.
