Cheesy Carrot Casserole Recipe our Thanksgiving Side Dish

This is a family recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. I remember the first time I tried carrot casserole – it was the first Thanksgiving we celebrated with my husband’s side of the family. Having celebrated every Thanksgiving with my Latin family, we always had a few dishes that weren’t so traditional so having my first New Jersey thanksgiving was a little of a culture shock. From the moment I saw the carrot dish, it peaked my interest because I noticed more cheese than carrots (and how can that be a bad thing! Every Thanksgiving since then, we always make sure to have Grandma B’s Carrot Casserole – it is a great side dish ! If you are looking for something sweet, check out our Maple Carrot Recipe.
