Carrots Au Gratin (A La Gail) image

This is a family staple. For as long as I can remember, at every special occasion or meal we must have this. If my mom ever served this to guests, there was sure to be a recipe request following the meal. I do believe this is what my Mom is famous for. Everyone loves the cheesy carrots! Thanks Mom!
