I got this recipe from a little booklet entitled "Prize-Winning Vegetable Dishes". It is just like a dish I have made for years, although I didn't add the cheese - it just didn't occur to me! Tender carrots are cooked in a zesty sauce loaded with gooey cheese. Mmmmmm! This is great with or without the cheese! Add the horseradish to your taste - more or less, but 1 tablespoon is good to start with, if you are not sure:)
