Easy and devastatingly good with pork loin, roasted chicken or a good beef roast. Make it and bake it...

Mis en place
1 can cream of mushroom soup
10 oz milk or half and half
2 Tbls. butter
1 Tbls. chopped garlic
2 cups grated cheddar or jack cheese
1/2 yellow onion THIN sliced
3-4 large russet potatoes, peeled and THIN sliced

garlic salt, fresh cracked black pepper and herbs de provance

Gently saute garlic and herbs de provance in the 2 TBLS. butter, after 1 minute add cream of mushroom soup and milk (preferably half and half for the rich flavor) and combine well, reduce heat to a very low simmer and warm for 5 minutes - allowing garlic and herb flavors to infuse into soup.

Slice VERY VERY thinly the peeled potatoes and onions. Generously butter (not PAM) a casserole dish. Add a 1 inch layer of the potatoes, then garnish with the thinly sliced onions. Season with garlic salt, fresh cracked pepper and then sprinkle on the grated cheddar. Repeat process until potatoes almost come to the top of the casserole dish. Now PRESS DOWN on potatoes. Then add soup mixture to casserole dish and with a large spoon gently pry up edges of the potatoes so the soup works itself down into the casserole. Cover with foil or matching lid and bake in 450 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove cover and bake an additional 40 minutes until top is a golden brown. Your kitchen will smell heavenly.

Easy and a great pairing to the above mentioned meat groups...

Ooh, Mike! This is very similar to my scalloped potato recipe and it's soooo good! I bake mine until it's very well done, too, and everyone fights over the crusty edges! Yum!!! My recipe doesn't call for garlic, so next time I make it I'm going to put some in. . .
 
Big Mike, I just finished dinner and I'm still drooling over this pic! Can't wait to try these! My mom's were always watery so I never liked them!

Here's a couple of pizzas on the very same old stove. Notice how close the burner is to the wall, you could use one of those real tough wire scrubbers and bleach and clean it, but by the time you produced a multi course meal it was funky like that again... My whole apartment was as small as my current kitchen is now, no kidding. LOL...

See that skillet on the right ?? One day before work I washed it and as was my custom put it on the back burner over high heat to dry. Well I FORGOT ABOUT IT and went to work my 2nd shift schedule that day. When I got home about 1 AM the apartment seemed especially stuffy... I took one look at that stove top in the dim light and realized THAT PAN was orange from the heat that had blasted it all those 9 or so hours !!! I turned the burner off with an oven mitt, opened all the windows and went outside to say a bunch of Hail Mary's glad I hadn't burned that curmmy little apartment down.

No kidding, true story !!!
