| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 2 | In a saucepan, gently cook the carrots until they are just crisp-tender, ensuring not to overcook them. Once done, drain the carrots and reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. |
| 3 | Transfer the cooked carrots into a 1-1/2 quart baking dish, spreading them out evenly across the bottom. |
| 4 | In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, and horseradish (if using) with the reserved cooking liquid. Stir well to create a flavorful mixture. |
| 5 | Evenly spread the mayonnaise mixture over the carrots in the baking dish, ensuring all the carrots are coated with the creamy goodness. |
| 6 | Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese generously over the top of the carrots and mayo mixture. The cheese adds a delightful richness to the dish. |
| 7 | Finally, top the casserole with a layer of breadcrumbs, adding a delightful crunch and texture to every bite. |
| 8 | Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for approximately 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs turn golden brown. |
| 9 | Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. |
