Cheesy Scalloped Carrots image

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare carrots. I love the creaminess the cheese makes with the butter and milk and the crunchy crumbs on the top.My mom would make these as a side dish with her fried chicken and country mashed potatoes. Now I make them for my family.
