Carrots Recipe ‹ Jeff's Carrots

This is a recipe I tried at a friend's Easter dinner. It was so good, everyone wanted to know how to make it. It originated from Jeff, so we all call it 'Jeff's Carrots' now. Try a different amount of sugar if you like things more or less sweet. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 pound carrots, sliced
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 3 eggs, beaten
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch ground allspice, or to taste
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
• 1 pinch ground ginger, or to taste
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray.
2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover, and steam until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Place carrots to a large bowl and mash. Stir melted butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and black pepper into carrots. Transfer carrots into prepared casserole dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 40 minutes.
