How To Freeze Carrots
Scrape the surface off of the carrots and wash in cold water. Small carrots can be frozen whole but large carrots should be sliced. Place them into boiling water and boil at a high heat for 2 minutes (known as blanching) for sliced carrots or 5 minutes for baby whole carrots. Drain off the boiling water ad run them under cold water for a minute.
Drain them well and dry with absorbent kitchen paper. Pack the blanched carrots in a freezer bag separating usable portions with cling film. Place the labelled and dated bag in the freezer. They will keep for 3 months in a standard freezer.

Thats the problem >< i dont like how they taste so im trying to find recipes that can mask / cover the flavor
Sheep.(half a leg) Navajo corn. (a cup of these) Water. (3 cups) Carrot. (cut up)
Perhaps rather than asking for a recipe to hide the taste of carrots, you and your family who don't like that taste of them should learn no vitamin in a carrot is mutually exclusive to the carrot. That way you might avoid buying three bags of them on your next shopping trip. I realise this solution still leaves you with three bags of carrots, so I propose you get to building some snowmen.

Do you like Yams or sweet potatos? If so I would recommend using the carrots in place of them they are a very interchangeable veggie.
If not I would say make breads or cakes with them.
Baring that here is a delicious recipe that will mask the carrot flavor:
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups chopped vegetables (cauliflower, green peas, carrot, green beans, red bell pepper)
1/2 cup chopped fried paneer
3 tablespoons oil
Pinch of asafetida (hing)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
1 seeded finely chopped green chili
1 tablespoon shredded ginger
1 tablespoon coriander powder (dhania)
1/4 teaspoon turmeric Haldi)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon mango powder (amchoor powder)
1 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
Garnish:
1/2 cup seeded and chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
Method:
Mix the shredded ginger, green chili, coriander powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper with 2 tablespoons of water and set aside.
Mix cornstarch with milk and set aside.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if it cracks right away oil is ready.
Add the asafetida and cumin seeds. After cumin seeds crack, add the bay leaves and the spice mixture. Fry for a few seconds until the spices start separating from the oil.
Add the cauliflower, green peas, carrot and green beans. Mix well and cover the pan. Let the vegetables cook on medium heat for about 7 to 8 minutes. The vegetables should be cooked just about half way.
Add the bell pepper and paneer. Mix well. Add the milk/cornstarch mixture and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add more milk if needed for more gravy.
Turn off the heat. Mix in the garam masala, amchoor powder and cilantro.
Place the vegetable korma in a serving dish and garnish with chopped tomatoes. Enjoy!
Substitutions and Variations:
Substitute any vegetable, for example potatoes, cabbage, corn, and mushrooms or other vegetables. Four to six vegetables are a good number to use.
Tofu can be used instead of paneer.
For the gravy, you may replace 1-cup milk with 3/4 cups cream for a richer texture. Blending 1/4 cup cashew nuts with 1-cup milk will also give the gravy a richer texture.
When I make this I just use what ever veggies I have laying around an it comes out great!
