our sister in law makes awesome scalloped potatoes. One night while eating at her house it got me thinking that it really wouldn’t be that hard to incorporate a touch more flavor, more sauce, and beef to create an entire meal in one casserole dish.
BEEFED UP SCALLOPED POTATOES
1 lb. ground beef, cooked and drained
1/2 c. onion, chopped
2 tsp chopped garlic
hamburger or steak seasoning of choice
1/3 c. butter
2 heaping TBSP flour
1 3/4 c. milk
6 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
2 tsp dill
1 1/2 lb. red potatoes, (sliced thinly, approx. 1/4 in thick)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook ground beef, onion, and garlic, drain off grease. Season beef with choice of seasoning, I use a generic hamburger seasoning. In saucepan melt butter, then add flour to make a roux. Slowly pour in milk while continuing to whisk until fully combined with roux and sauce thickens. Add shredded cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and dill.
In a greased casserole dish spread a small amount of sauce on the bottom, then follow with a layer of beef and then sliced potatoes. Continue to layer cheese sauce, beef, and potatoes. Be sure to end with a layer of cheese on top and that it fully covers the potatoes.
Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through.
I hope to improve and perfect this recipe each time i make it, and I will continue to update with changes I make. i’ll also grab a few more photos, Must not have been a very creative day, this is the only picture I can find of this recipe.
