First off I have to share our Corned Beef & Cabbage. I tried out a new recipe and LOVED it! Still using dad's beer that he left here ... lol :)

For Easter I tried out a new Scalloped Potato recipe, yummy!!!

Supreme Scalloped Potatoes

Supreme Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 8 medium potatoes, peeled
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven or large kettle, cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Cool completely; shred and place in a large bowl. Add 1 cup cheese and onion. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over potato mixture.
  2. Transfer to a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly.

ALEXIS NOTE: I of course did the easy way out and didn't boil the potatoes and shred them. I just sliced them thin with my slicer. It did take a little longer to cook but they were delish!!
This recipe you've seen, but I snuck in our healthy version of Mac and Cheese .. lol know one knew. For that recipe head to this post: Welcome to the Jungle (AKA Gym)
Then I did the famous Ham glaze, that is now requested every time I do ham. My Grandmother LOVED this, first words when she walked in "Did you make the Glaze?". For that recipe check out this post: MSM ~ Thanksgiving Day Goodies!
And then you ask what do I do with my left over ham? Well you take some of it, don't worry more left over ham recipes to come! :) My first left over ham is Ham & Cheese Ziti.
