Scalloped Potatoes

                                                                                

Creamy Scalloped Potatoes are an amazing side dish for any meal!


8 Large All Purpose Potatoes Peeled & Sliced Thin

1 Medium Onion Peeled & Sliced Thin

4 TBS Butter

3 Cups Whole Milk

2 Heaping Tablespoon Flour

1 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Pepper I use White Pepper

1 TBS Chopped Parsley + 1 Teaspoon to sprinkle over the top!

Butter enough to grease your 9x13 baking pan or a deep casserole dish. Prepare your baking pan & preheat your oven to 350 degrees,

In deep saucepan melt the 4 TBS butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, now whisk in the milk & turn heat up to medium high. Continue to whisk & cook until this thickens & bubbles, it should be a nice creamy sauce consistency.  Once bubbling & thick remove from heat & whisk in the salt, pepper & parsley. Peel potatoes & onion & slice thin. Place 1 layer of potatoes, then a layer of onion then finish with a layer of potato.  Pour your thickened sauce over the top of the potatoes pouring out evenly over all. Sprinkle the top with about 1 teaspoon of parsley & bake at 350 degrees for 1 & 1/2 hours! Serves 6 to 8 people!  

Oven Fried Breaded Boneless Pork Chops

                                                                           


Delicious Oven Fried Boneless Pork Chops! You will never Shake & Bake ever again!


8 Boneless Pork Chops
1 Beaten Egg
1/2 Cup Milk
2&1/2 Cups Bread Crumbs
1 TBS Goya Sazonador Total Seasoning or use your favorite 
3 TBS Italian Dressing
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
Beat egg & milk together. Stir bread crumbs & your seasoning together. Now take your 9x13 baking dish that has an edge & spread the salad dressing evenly over the bottom of the pan. Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture then dip into bread crumbs, flip over & make sure each side is coated well. Place chop into your prepared pan. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes then turn oven temperature 
 up to 375 degrees, flip each chop over & bake another 15 minutes! If chops are thick you might want to add more baking time I would say another 10 minutes. My chops were not thick & they were perfect, crispy, tender,  & really great flavor! ENJOY!

Shepherds Pie made with Ham & Cabbage!

Ham & Cabbage in a Shepherds Pie? Why not! This is a great way to use up some leftover ham! 

2 Pound Leftover Ham cubed
1/2 Head of Cabbage Shredded
1 Bag Frozen Peas & Carrots
1 Cup Leftover Ham Gravy or 1 Can of your favorite Cream Soup 
2 Cups Shredded Cheese use your favorite
4 Cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes
1 TBS Butter
In a large deep skillet; I used my 10 inch cast iron skillet & I baked it in this too; add the butter. Sauté the cabbage until soft. Now add the peas & carrots stirring & cooking until thawed & soft. Add the cubed ham & gravy or soup if using the soup. Stir well. Turn off heat & spread the cheese evenly over the top. Now I warm the mashed potatoes in the microwave adding enough milk to make them soft & spreadable. Spread the potatoes over the cheese spreading evenly over the entire surface,  Sprinkle with chopped parsley! Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour to 1hour & 20 minutes! The Shepherds Pie should be hot & bubbling & lightly brown! If you don't have a skillet you want to bake in a 9x13 deep baking dish will work. This makes 6 to 8 large helpings! Cut recipe in 1/2 if serving 4 or less!
