Author Notes
This Fall-inspired recipe straight from the State of Cheese, Wisconsin, is the perfect side dish to every meal. This dish features small rainbow carrots tossed in bourbon and dried cranberries, topped with award-winning Wisconsin cheese.
Recipe Pro Tip: Although any brand of Wisconsin Gorgonzola can be used in this recipe, we recommend the Prairie Farms Gorgonzola Cheese Crumbles, Mindoro Collection. Master Wisconsin Cheesemakers have handcrafted the Mindoro Collection since 1938, making their artisan cheese with local milk from Mindoro, Wisconsin, offering a slightly milder flavor than blue cheese. —Wisconsin Cheese
