Absolute Best Potato Casserole

Here is an experimental recipe that turned out to be a huge hit! I had many of these ingredients ‘left over’ from a catered luncheon, and decided to give my creativity a try. My family was glad I did!

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.

Step: 2

To prepare the cheese sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in milk, and stir constantly until thickened. Mix in Cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese, and continue to stir until smooth. Reduce heat to low.

Step: 3

Layer potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer onion and ham over potatoes. Top with cauliflower. Cover with the cheese sauce.

Step: 4

Bake covered 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove cover, sprinkle with crushed cornflakes, and continue baking 10 minutes, until vegetables are tender and surface is bubbly and lightly browned. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before serving.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
