"Old fashioned recipe from Esther Shank's Mennonite Cookbook. I love cooked carrots and I love creamed veggies, so this is one of my favorites. It's great for company too, because you can prepare it ahead of time and bake before dinner."

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

Peel and slice carrots, cover with salted water and bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer, cooking for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and place in casserole dish.

Meanwhile, saute onion in butter over medium heat until translucent. Add flour to onions, cooking a few minutes until flour turns golden.
