Slow Cooker Carrots with Brown Sugar, Celery and Onion

These Slow Cooker Carrots with Brown Sugar, Celery and Onion are another extra side dish for the holidays when stove and oven space are at a premium. The original recipe finely diced the celery and onion. I'm a big fan of celery and left mine in thicker slices, and like the color and texture. Now, everyone prefers their veggies cooked to a certain tenderness... I've given my notes below for a tender, yet still has some bite cooking time, you can click the link for the recommended time. The original recipe calls these glazed carrots, while I can't quite call them that... I ~can~ say they'd be great on your holiday buffet and we all enjoyed them with Sunday dinner:@)
