Tomorrow is Easter and I have been invited out I decided to make a meal for at home. Then I heard my neighbor was going to be alone and told her I was making her a Au Gratin Casserole. It really seemed to cheer her up so I made two dinners from this recipe.
The recipe below is enough for five people and would cost $4.00 to make.
If dinner is just for you or two of you just cut the ingredients in half.
Here is what I made:
Au gratin Potato Casserole
INGREDIENTS:
2 shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/2 pound chopped up ham (I use honey ham)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (I use corn starch)
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 heaping tablespoons of onion flakes
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 medium-sized Idaho Russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Paprika for sprinkling
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 8- x 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium pan, combine 2 cups cheese , ham, flour/or cornstarch, milk, Italian seasoning, onion flakes, seasoned salt, and pepper.
cook over stove until thickened
Arrange half the potato slices in the baking dish. Pour half the cheese mixture over potatoes
. Arrange remaining potatoes in baking dish, and pour remaining cheese mixture over potatoes. Dot with butter, cover, and bake 60 minutes.
Remove potatoes from oven
. Uncover potatoes and sprinkle evenly with cheese and the Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle with paprika and return to oven to bake 8 to 10 additional minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
I am going to serve this with strawberry apple sauce and for desert I made strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
What ever you make for Easter have a wonderful day!
