What’s for Dinner??

Some nights, I have no plans for dinner. I have ingredients, but no plan for what to do with them. Those are my favorite nights to cook. I love just throwing stuff together and seeing what happens.

A few days ago, I had potatoes, mushrooms, and random pieces of leftover cheese in my fridge. I decided to made Scalloped Potatoes, but realized, I did not have milk. I was stuck on Scalloped Potatoes, so I added some random ingredients together and came up with something way better!

Scalloped Potatoes Au Hatcher (Almost)

  • 1.5 lb Red Potatoes- Sliced
  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 3 Tbsp Flour
  • 1 1/2 Cups Chicken Stock
  • 3/4 Cup Chopped Mushrooms
  • 1 Sprig Fresh Thyme or 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 Cup of Cheese- Shredded (I used a mixture of Pepper Jack, Vermont Cheddar, and Sharp Cheddar)
  • 3 Slices Bacon- Cooked and Crumbled
    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees
    • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 5-10 minutes or until soften. Do not cook completely. This to to reduce cook time in the oven.
    • Heat pan over medium low heat. Add Butter and garlic.
    • Whisk in flour and allow to cook 1-2 minutes. Watch flour to prevent it from burning.
    • Whisk in stock, slowly, to prevent lumps.
    • Add mushrooms, cooked bacon, and 2/3 cup of cheese. Mix to combine. Cook on low a few minutes to thicken.
    • Add a layer of potatoes to greased baking dish. Pour some of cheese mixture over potatoes. Continue layers until all ingredient are used.
    • Sprinkle reserved cheese over top and bake for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly.
      • ENJOY!!

I served dinner with Chicken and Broccoli. Huck and I finished off the whole pan of potatoes though. The different cheeses really made the difference! Or maybe it was just the bacon. Either way it was yummy!!

BLOG STUFF

Did you guys know Life Food and Beer has drop down menus? Have you been using them?? Do you know how long it took for me to make drop down menus? Please use the drop down menus!! They make navigating around the blog so easy.

After the wedding, I plan to give LF&B a face-lift, and I want to work on the food aspect more! My favorite blogs are food blogs, and I want to be known for good recipes and not being that girl that drinks all the time :)
