Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

5 large potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, sliced
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup flour
3 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
6 slices bacon
garlic salt

Steps:

Cook bacon until done, but not crispy. Set aside on paper towels to absorb grease and pat dry. Cut into bite sized pieces when cool.
Wash potatoes. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water, then add the potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes in boiling water (the potatoes will finish cooking in the oven). Set aside and allow to cool. Once you're able to work with the half-cooked potatoes, slice them into 1/2" pieces.
In saucepan, melt butter. Saute the onion slices until just tender; remove from pan and set aside. Making sure you still have enough butter in your pan, stir in flour and milk, whisking until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring/whisking constantly for 1 minute. Add cheese and continue to stir until cheese melts. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix in bacon.
In a buttered 9x13 quart casserole, layer potatoes, onion, and cheese mixture. Continue to add layers until about one inch from the top, finishing off the top layer with the cheese mixture.
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven, covered, for 45 minutes. Take the cover off of the casserole dish, sprinkle with green onions, and bake for another 5 minutes uncovered. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt before serving, if desired.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

5 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
2 garlic cloves, minced (large cloves)
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (6 oz)

Steps:

Cook potato slices, covered, in boiling water to cover for 5 minutes; drain well.
Place the potato slices in a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle with the bacon and green onion; set aside.
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth.
Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually add half-and-half; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly.
Add the minced garlic, bag leaf, salt, celery seed, black pepper, and cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese melts.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Pour the cheese sauce over the reserved potato slices.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
Remove cover, and bake an additional 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is lightly browned.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-sliced potatoes. You can also use a mandoline to slice the potatoes evenly.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half or even milk. Just be aware that the sauce will be thinner.
Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or chives, to the sauce for extra flavor.
If you like your scalloped potatoes extra cheesy, add an extra cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce.
Be sure to cook the scalloped potatoes until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbly.

Conclusion:

Cheesy scalloped potatoes and bacon are a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with the family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and hearty dish to serve, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
