"Whenever we had been sick as kids and were finally starting to feel better, mom would treat us to Kidney Bean Rabbit. Today, I use Velveeta, but then we would either use government cheese or the cheese my grandparents got from the Amish farm next door. Any soft cheese that melts smoothly will work. The important thing is to use a double boiler, as it simply does not come out well in either a heavy-bottomed single pan or the microwave. If you don't have a double boiler, you can put a metal mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water. This is another recipe originally from my 1952 Watkins cookbook, updated."
