Not Just Ordinary Carrots

Originally a way to use up leftover cooked carrots, NJO Carrots has become a common side dish at Thanksgiving. People tend to have... strong opinions... about the carrot-and-horseradish flavor.

NOT JUST ORDINARY CARROTS
6-7 cups cooked carrots
1 cup mayonnaise
2-3 tablespoons horseradish
2 green onions
12 finely crushed saltine crackers
1/4 cup melted butter
salt and pepper to taste

Slice carrots into rounds and cook until tender.* Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, horseradish, finely minced green onions, salt and pepper. Drain the carrots well, mix them into the mayonnaise mixture until well combined, and turn out into a casserole dish. Combine saltines with butter and sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serves 8-10.

*If you want your carrots to retain their sweetness, cook them in barely enough water to cover.
