Three Cheese Garlic Scalloped Potatoes

February 16, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: allrecipes.com

Prep/Cooking Time: Prep Time: 10 Minutes / Cook Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 pint heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
4 slices provolone cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2 quart or larger casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish. Dot with half of the butter cut or pinched into small pieces. Arrange half of the garlic slices over the potatoes, then pour half of the heavy cream over. Sprinkle one cup of Cheddar cheese over the layer, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering of potatoes, garlic, cream and Cheddar cheese, then top with the slices of provolone cheese. Season again with salt and pepper.

Bake for 1/2 hour in the preheated oven, then sprinkle the Parmesan or Romano cheese over the top. This will create a semi-hard cheese crust. Continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when tested with a fork.

Oven Fried Potatoes

February 10, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: conservativebookstore.com

Prep/Cooking Time: Prep: 15 mins.

Ingredients:

6 potatoes
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon basil
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash pepper
2 tablespoons oil

Directions:

Spread oil in 13-by-9 inch baking dish.

Clean and cut potatoes into bite sized chunks. Toss potatoes in pan and sprinkle on spices. Put in oven at 375 degrees for about an hour possibly an hour and a half. Start these bad boys early because you are never quite sure how long it will take for them to become edible. I like to leave mine bake long enough for the outside to become crunchy and the inside to become soft.

This is one of those dishes that it is hard to screw up unless you forget to check on it once in a while.

Nicki’s Notes:

My mother used to make these, but used Lawry’s seasoned salt and parmesan cheese in the place of the spices in this recipe. Also, make extra sauce and cover with half before putting into oven, and with the rest about halfway through cooking.

Texas Beef Skillet

February 10, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: betterrecipes.com

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 16 oz. can tomatoes, cut up
1 15-1/2 oz. can red kidney beans
3/4 cup quick cooking rice
3/4 cup water
3 tbsp. chopped green pepper
3/4 cup shredded sharp American cheese (3 oz.)

Directions:

In skillet, cook ground beef and onion till beef is brown and onion is tender; drain off fat. Sprinkle meat mixture with chili powder, salt, and garlic salt. Stir in undrained tomatoes, undrained beans, uncooked rice, water, and green pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Top with cheese. Cover and heat till cheese melts, about 3 minutes longer. Sprinkle with crushed corn chips, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.

Nicki’s Notes:

This was good, but not spicy enough for our tastes. I used 2 1/2 tsp chili powder and added 2 tsp cumin and a dash of Tabasco. It was DELICIOUS! I recommend adding this on top of lettuce and corn chips for a nice texan chilli style salad!
