Yummy carrots! I also used baby carrots and I didn't have any bacon, but they were great anyway. I'll be making these again.

This is a great recipe, but i found a Quicker one using canned carrots & less ingredients that is great for quick dinner fixes! and kids love it! see recipe #30722 I tried this today, and im saving it for the holidays! Great job Julie!!!!

Okay my family and I are hooked! Since I had them on hand I did use baby carrots but sliced them into appoximately 1/2" pieces. Totally forgot the bacon but they were great anyway. Served this on the side with Honey Basil Grilled Chicken (recipezaar #94389)and out of the box Brussels sprouts in butter. The first comment from my husband the next morning? "That was a great dinner last night". This recipe will be a regular around our house. Thanks so much Julie!

Very nice way to prepare carrots. The kahlua added an unexpectedly good flavor to the carrots. I didn't add the bacon in an effort to cut calories a bit, but I know it would have further enhanced the flavor. Thanks for sharing.
