#164_Ground Beef 'N Sour Cream Potato Casserole

I tried to scan this recipe but it didn't work well for me so
I just took a picture of it to save me
from typing the whole recipe. (this old lady is getting lazy!)
This is one of the several entries I submitted
to the cook book published by a company
I used to work for many years ago, (click here).

I made this today and doubled the recipe
using 11 x 15 x 2 casserole pan.

This is one of my favorite dishes to make for a big crowd
as the recipe can be doubled easily
and can be assembled ahead of time, refrigerate it,
then pop it in the oven when you need it.
It is also very forgiving kind of dish to make,
so you can't really go wrong with it.

Brown the ground beef with chopped onions.
Spread in a deep baking pan or casserole dish.

Peel and boil potatoes til half way done,
then grate using coarse side of a hand-held grater.
When I do a big batch, a food processor is my best friend.

Spread grated potatoes evenly on top of the meat,
then pour the soup mixture on top of the potatoes.
Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Mix melted butter with the cornflakes
slightly crushing the cornflakes.

Spread cornflakes on top.

Note:
One thing that I do that is not on the recipe book is I cover the casserole with aluminum foil that is sprayed with cooking spray the first 30 minutes of baking, then uncover and continue to bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.

#117_Potatoes 'N Cream

Potatoes 'N Cream

This is one of the dishes that I made for our
Easter dinner this year.
I better post the recipe before Easter comes again.
It is easy to make and yet a very elegant way
to prepare a potato dish and
goes really well with any kind of meat
such as roasts, b-b-q, steaks, etc.
It is so creamy and so flavorful that you will not miss the gravy.

Ingredients:
6 large potatoes, peeled and sliced long like french fries
1/2 pint heavy cream (not whipped)
1/2 can evaporated milk
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 stick butter, cubed
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups grated cheese

Procedure:
Put potatoes in a greased baking dish
Add in milk, cream and seasonings (salt and pepper)
Spread chopped onion on top
Dot with butter
Cover dish with aluminum foil
Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 1 hour
Take out the foil and spread the grated cheese on top
Return to oven uncovered and bake for another 5 minutes

This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
Most of the time I use 5 pounds of potatoes for our family
in a 10"x15"x2" baking dish increase the cream to
1 pint and evaporated milk to 1 can.
Put more cheese on top.

Very creamy and really good!!
