Notes

Expert Recipe Tips:

Cut the carrots into a uniform size so that the casserole cooks evenly.

If you want bubbly cheese with that golden finish, when the casserole is done, turn your oven up to 500 degrees F/260 C for about 3 minutes. But keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn!

If you want it even cheesier, just bake it in a larger/longer casserole dish or 9x13 pan and add more cheese!

Storage:

Store leftover cheesy carrot casserole in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Make-ahead

I love carrots as an easy side dish with my Easter Dinner. But getting all your dishes prepared for an Easter dinner can be a lot of work, so I prefer to do my preparation in stages. I love this cheesy carrot casserole because it can also be made a couple of days in advance and reheated.
