Creamy sauce with a mild cheese flavor baked in with ham and peas. This recipe is really easy and I have never had anyone, not like it. Plus it’s affordable.
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Easy and good comfort food on a cold night! I was rushed for time, so I sliced the potatoes and threw them in the microwave for about 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the ingredients and sauce. Also, put the onions in with the sauce to make sure they were tender. Baked at 400 for 45 minutes and potatoes were perfect. Also added a little leftover crumbled bacon to the top before baking – yummy. Sprinkled a little cheddar on top before serving.
