Baked Cheesy Carrots Casserole

This was a nice dish to end my carrot series with.  Combining carrots with cheese, bacon and breadcrumbs-- what could be better? 

I made only one change: I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of swiss, because of its comparatively more intense flavor.  If I were to make this again I think I would add some caramelized onion or red pepper flakes between the cheese and bread crumbs.  It works very well as a side to a chicken dish or as a midnight snack, with all its warm gooey goodness and the perfect balance of dairy, carbs and salty bacon.  Enjoy!
