EASY CARROTS AU GRATIN
CARROTS-GRATIN - A simple and unusual carrot-cheese
casserole
This is a family recipe that my inlaws make for holiday
dinners. I've never seen it in any cookbook. It's unusual,
but good.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-6)
1 Tbsp butter
3 cups carrots, sliced.
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups
milk
1/2 lb process cheese
PROCEDURE
(1) Slice the carrots and saut' in 1 Tbsp butter over
low heat for 5-10 minutes, until cooked to taste.
(2) Make a roux with the butter and flour. Add the
milk (warmed) and cook until thick.
(3) Add cheese and cook until cheese is melted. Mix
in the cooked carrots.
(4) Place in greased casserole and sprinkle with but-
tered bread crumbs. Bake at 350 deg. F for 15-20
minutes or until brown.
NOTES
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.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 15 minutes preparation, 20 minutes
baking. Precision: no need to measure.
