I LOVE THIS CASSEROLE!!!!! There’s nothing better than sweet and tangy carrot casserole dished out as a side with your Easter ham. This is one of my all-time favorite recipes, and it is another classic from the recipe box of my Great Aunt Virginia. This recipe pairs the flavors of buttery, sauteed onions, tangy V8 juice, and sweetly shredded carrots into a casserole that pairs perfectly with your brown sugar glazed Easter ham. It doesn’t get any better than this for your Easter Sunday meal. We make this every Easter, and it just wouldn’t be Easter without this casserole!
