NOTES:

* A simple and unusual carrot-cheese casserole — This is a family recipe
that my in-laws make for holiday dinners. I’ve never seen it in any
cookbook. It’s unusual, but good. Servings: Serves 4-6.

* Process cheese is sometimes called American cheese or Canadian cheese
depending on where it is bought. You can make a standard cheddar cheese
sauce instead, or you can use something like Velveeta instead.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, 20 minutes baking.
: Precision: no need to measure.
