Hi all! Here’s a recipe I tried this week and we will be adding to our menu favorites. It’s sort of a take on a shepherds pie type of dish. Hope you like it!
Scalloped Potato Casserole
About 8 potatoes
1 medium onion
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
1 can corn
3 cups milk
3 Tbl. butter
2 Tbl. flour
2 envelopes dry onion soup mix
I prefer to use red skins and/or Yukon golds for this recipe because you don’t have to peal those, however any potato will work. If using Russets, go ahead and peal those. Slice them into thin rounds, set aside. Peal and dice the onion and place them in with the potatoes. In a skillet, brown your meat and drain. set aside. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter in the 3 cups milk. Do this on medium heat so as not to scorch the milk. When the butter is melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly. Cook about 3 or 4 minutes. Add in both envelopes dry onion soup mix and whisk together. In a large bowl place potatoes, corn, onion and meat. Pour milk sauce over the mixture. Stir well. Pour into large crock pot and set to low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours depending on how hot your crock pot cooks. It smells delicious after about an hour and a half. You may need to add more spices or seasonings if your family likes more flavor. You could also serve this with gravy over top. Let me know how you like it! Enjoy.
This is Me
Hi, I’m Cyndi! I am a wife to a wonderful God-fearing man for almost twenty years. I am a mom to an ambitious comedic eighteen-year-old son and a spirited fun-loving sixteen-year-old daughter. I love to cook, create anything I can think of to make, talk and visit with friends and even strangers, and of course I love to write. Along with the writing, I love to read what other people write as well. I would love to live in the south somewhere but for now I live more in the suburbs of a town in Michigan. Oh yeah… and I’m almost blind. This means that I have to do things a little differently. It takes a little more time and a little more patience to get things done, but they get done. I was told of my eye disease when I was nine years old. At forty-four, they still cannot diagnose what I have for certain. However, I won’t sit still while they try and figure it out. Each day brings different challenges and some of the same as well. Navigating new territory is the most difficult thing for me to do, but I refuse to be held back and take the chance on missing out on an exciting new adventure. My bucket list holds adventures like parasailing, visiting Ireland, having at least one book published, and I’m sure there are more that I haven’t listed yet. Painting word pictures is my therapy and sanctuary. I use life as my brushes and paint. Lite me a candle, put on the spa music and a-writing I will go. Come on this journey with me, I hope you can find some new colors you like.
