I sauteed the onions in butter and added some garlic. Then about half the amount of green bell pepper and parsley (sauteed them as well). (I don't get on well with bell peppers; I also reduced the cheese a bit) I used a potato masher for the cooked carrots and added about 1/4 cup of chicken broth. My guests like the dish as did my family (two teenaged boys). The consistency was not smooth (not like mashed potatoes) but we liked the texture. I'll make this one again.

This recipe is a yummy, different take on carrots. I do, however, agree with the reviewers who said it could use a bit more flavor. The next time I make it I will probably add some green onion. Very good over all though.

These were really great. They are very similar to mashed sweet potatoes. I was really surprised how much flavor carrots have. I did add some milk to the recipe because it seemed a little dry to me. I will make this recipe again, however, I think the next time I will leave the bread crumbs off. I used finely ground crumbs and they did not brown, although the carrots did and it did not add any flavor, just made the dish messier.

I was a little skeptical of this recipe and was worried about the review below that said it was bland. So I liberally used ground white pepper and garlic powder and ended up with a great side dish! Different, easy, colorful and yummy! It doesn't get five stars because it was a little too cheesy for my taste. I prefer lighter methods in the preparation of vegetables.

Everyone loved this recipie!! I baked it in a more shallow pan so they were a little dry so bake them in a deeper pan. And also whip the carrots until they are really creamy not just mashed they will blend with the other ingredients better. But I really loved this recipie you can add whatever veggies you like!!!

This is a good recipe. I didn't use the green bell pepper because to me, they can have an overpowering flavor. Oddly enough, an old boss' wife made a similar dish for dinner one evening except the carrots weren't mashed. I decided to use this addition and it was fabulous. Fried it up, drained it, patted it with paper towels, crushed it and threw it in before popping it in the oven. Bacon...always a winner in our household. Thanks so much, Linda.
