Zippy Baked Carrots Side Dish

By: Jean Muldoon

"Considering how fast our five children and 16 grandkids finish off these cheesy carrots at Sunday suppers, the 'Zippy' in the title is appropriate! I came from a clan of avid cookers. At age 85, my mom's worked her way through every one of our recipe books from cover to cover!"
