  3. Drain carrots and mash in a large bowl. Mix in milk, Cheddar cheese, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon crushed crackers, beaten eggs, butter, parsley, salt, and pepper.

  4. Spread carrot mixture in the greased casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/4 cup crushed crackers.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
