How to Make Easy Meals

Ingredients:

2 cups carrots, sliced thick
1 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 stick butter
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1/2 pound processed cheese, cubed
1 cup buttered bread crumbs

Instructions:

Place a scant amount of water in the bottom of a large saucepan.  Place the saucepan over high heat.  Add the carrots, onions, celery, salt and sugar and mix together well.  Bring water to a steady boil.  Continue boiling 6 minutes or just until the carrots begin to tender.  Drain well in a colander.  Place the stick of butter into a saucepan over medium heat and allow the butter to completely melt.  Stir in the flour and continue stirring until the flour and butter begin to bubble.  Pour in the milk and stir to combine.  Carefully fold in the cheese cubes.  Continue cooking over low heat, stirring continuously until the cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.  Turn the oven temperatur to 375 degrees and allow the oven to heat.  Spray the sides and bottom of a large baking dish with a non stick cooking spray.  Place the vegetables into the prepared baking dish.  Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables.  Sprinkle the entire top with the bread crumbs.  Bake 30 minutes or until the center begins to bubble.
