I've had this recipe forever, and it just keeps getting better with time. Add ham to turn this recipe into a truly Southern, traditional comfort food. Ingredients:
16 ounces cheddar (or other) cheese shredded |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup all purpose flour |
4 cups milk |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
10 medium potatoes, peeled and washed, and thinly sliced |
1/2 large sweet onion, quarted and thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt the butter over low heat. Blend in the flour. Add 1/2 of the milk, and whisk with flour and butter until well blended. Pour in the rest of the milk and sitr constantly until slightly thickened. Add shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until cheese melts. Remove from heat and stir in cream. Spread half of the cheese sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Arrange potato and onion slices over the cheese sauce. Spread remaining cheese sauce over the top.
3. Bake at 350 degrees until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
4. Optional: add cubed ham
