You can make this ahead of time, and a food processor is a useful kitchen gadget to have.
6 medium carrots, grated
3 tablespoons of butter
3/4 teaspoon of sugar
salt and pepper to taste
In a greased casserole, layer carrots, salt and pepper, 1 tbsp butter and 1/4 tsp sugar.
Layer three times, until all ingredients are used.
Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
I like making this one when we're having company. It fancies-up carrots and it's delicious.
For every extra person, grate one more carrot.
The recipe doesn't mention putting a lid on the casserole. I've done it with and without.
