"I got this from the Best of Bridge. I made it for Christmas and thanksgiving dinner in Korea and people raved about it. One male friend asked if I was making those awesome carrots when I invited him to Christmas dinner."

Serves:: 6

ingredients

1 (1 lb) bag frozen baby carrots or 6 peeled and sliced fresh carrots
¹⁄₄ cup reserved carrot water
¹⁄₄ cup mayonnaise
¹⁄₄ cup sour cream
¹⁄₄ cup horseradish
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
salt and pepper
¹⁄₄ cup breadcrumbs (optional)
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)

directions

Boil or steam carrots, reserving carrot water.
I always steam them to preserve the carrot flavor.
Place cooked carrots in a shallow casserole.
Combine the rest of the ingredients, pour over carrots and mix.
I use alot of horseradish because we like it.
You can use less if you want.
Note: The original recipe calls for bread crumbs mixed with the butter on top.
I didn't care for it and I always omit this.
If you want to try it, melt the butter, mix with breadcrumbs and sprinkle on top.
Bake at 375 F.
for 30 minutes or until horseradish sauce is bubbly.

I love horseradish and this dish was awesome! The only change I made was popping it under a low-broil for 10 minutes (instead of the baking) and the idea of the breadcrumb topping was off-putting so I also omitted it. I will definately be making this again. Thanks!

Yum! I love Best of Bridge recipes and this was another good one. I messed up a little bit - forgot to add the cooking water, lol, so my sauce was thicker than it should have been. Still tasted really good. Thanks Cathy17 for a nice side dish. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.

I have to give it 4 stars since I loved it and my husband didn't, the kids were ambivalent :-) I made this for the first time with a Beef loin roast. I loved the flavors and the texture. My husband just doesn't like horseradish so he just wanted the cream sauce.

Good carrot side dish. Everyone at the table enjoyed it. I took your word for it and did not include the bread crumbs. Thanks for the recipe.
