how do you solve a problem like carrots?

I hate carrots, but the house is full of them - frozen, fresh, and canned. The only way I've liked them cooked is boiled on the stove with butter, roasted like with pot roast (or in the crock pot), or in carrot cake. :)

I'm no chef - my fiance does most of the cooking - but I'd like to make something that uses the carrots without tasting like carrots (which I think taste like dirt + sugar).

Can anyone recommend good recipies or methods of preparation, keeping in mind that I don't eat spicy food? I can do basic cooking, but I like to make recipies so don't let the recipe "level of complication" stop you from suggesting something, please.

I've never done it, but I think you can make pickled carrots. It's surprisingly easy, actually—I have pickled beans—and is delicious.. Plus the pickling process disguises the taste somewhat.

(I heartily recommend the spaghetti sauce solution given above!)

I have made pickled carrots halfassed without a recipe, and I found them good.
