Carrot Rice Casserole
"A suprisingly flavorful dish that is quick and easy to prepare. Is well accompanyied by a salad.
My mother found this recipe in the news paper, thought it sounded good and sent it to me. I was hesitant but ultimately amazed at how good it is!"

I've made this several times now. I find it as-written a little bland. I like to add garlic, cheddar cheese, salt & pepper and whatever spices/herbs catch my eye. You could throw most anything into this and it will work! -
Excellent! I used 1 tsp. of onion powder since my family doesn't like onions. Delicious! Thanks so much!

Great rice! I am not a big fan of plain white rice (DH could eat it daily!) so this is a great dish for us. I loved the addition of the cheese and that it did not overpower. Made for Eating Well in November Tag. -
Nice simple weeknight side dish. I did add some salt and pepper. :) -
I liked this casserole. It's quite healthy with all of the carrots and I cut the butter in half and used low fat mozza. A nice recipe to use as a side dish - it has the starch and the veggies. There was enough for about 6 of us. Thanks!

My husband and I have been married since 1992 and, after years spent pursuing my career I chose to give it up and became a very proud mother of a little girl born January 2006.
<br>I enjoy spending time with family and close friends and sharing great food and recipes.
<br>I like quick and easy recipes and will often try to reduce fat or sugar where ever possible. I do prefer to make my own food from scratch, as then I know all the ingredients that went into its preparation.
<br>My favorite cookbooks are the Southern Living series.
