Instructions:

Step	Description
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.
