Ingredients

• 5 cups frozen sliced carrots (see Note)
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small green bell pepper, cut into slivers
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 (10-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add carrots and cook just until crisp-tender; drain and set aside to cool.
    
2. In a large bowl, combine onion and bell pepper. Add sugar, soup, oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and black pepper; mix well. Add carrots and toss to coat.
    
3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight. Drain marinade and serve.

Note

A 20-ounce bag of carrots is about 3 cups. And, even easier? Use canned carrots – then there’s no cooking needed, just draining and mixing.
