  1. We really liked this recipe. I didn't have the precooked potatoes so I nuked some potatoes quickly and made this. I did add some bacon bits and red onion on top of the potatoes before I poured the cheese over. This is a simple recipe that really works when you are short on time!
     
  2. These are the bomb, and I'll tell you why....you will be able to make these even during the week, because you pre-prep the potatoes, (in fact, you could probably do this the day prior) do a quick slice, layer the potatoes, the sauce, the potatoes, the sauce, and put her in the oven. Mine looks rustic, and beautiful, dotted with cheese and delightful sauce. The top is slightly browned nicely, and is totally "rotten". I didn't change anything except add a dash of Tabasco to the sauce, and dotted the top with a little butter nibs. YUM! Thanks, Bliss!
     
  3. i made this as a side with chicken breast and broccoli. i added 1 teaspoon of paprika on top and 1 tablespoon of "cheez whiz medium" cheese dip & everyone loved it! i did have to cook the potatoes an extra 15-20 minutes but that couldve just been because i didnt cut the potatoes thin enough. but i will be making this normally, thank you! :)
     
  4. I made this as a side for meatloaf.<br/><br/>No changes in recipe, except I was short on fresh milk so used evaporated milk 1/2-1/2 with water.<br/>Sliced potatoes and nuked them (covered) for 5 minutes.<br/>Added a pinch of rosemary, & 2 drops hot sauce,<br/><br/>Oh my goodness, this is such a delicious recipe. Glad I made enough for tomorrow to have with some sweet Italian sausage. and boiled cabbage. Thanks, Pat.
     
  5. Terrific. Made it as a go-with for dinner last night. It out shone the main! Had a sliver or two with breakfast this morning and the taste was even deeper. Thanks for posting this recipe, Pat.

The little cutie here is Martha, the sweet lady I was blessed to have worked with for two years. Martha passed away on 12/3/08. Martha and I would ride endlessly during the holidays, and she would sing carols and laugh and just enjoy it so much. I know this holiday season, she will be with her brother, son and mother and finally be "home". Martha, I still love you more. ******* I'm a simple girl, born of good stock. I'm the mamma of two spoiled tuxedo cats: Beauregard and Patches (the one who's been drinking eggnog). They love cuddling together, and this picture is taken on my hall steps. I'm a firm believer in LOA. I need to get more dedicated to daily practice. Below is a film that explains it, and is wonderful. I highly recommend it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* This is Beau enjoying his computer. He's quite good at deleting messages, making the desktop disappear (as is his brother). Their path to the window is over my keyboard. <IMG SRC="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/126104/PuterCat.jpg"> This is Patches, planning his strategy to keep me awake, but cuddling his sock baby and trying to be cute to throw me off. <IMG SRC="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/126104/RugRat.jpg"> Beau works a long week. He's relaxing finally, after a beer. <IMG SRC="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/126104/StickUp.jpg">mnhj BTW, "mnhj" means "I just walked across our keyboard once again and left you a present." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I'm trying to figure out my new rating system. As of 10/1/06, this is how I'll rate recipes. I will be changing some previous reviews. 5*~~Outstanding recipe--the best of the best here. 4*~~Something I find delicious; will make often; would serve to guests. 3*~~Something I might fix again; enjoyed; needed something added before I try again 2*~~Something I could finish, but would never try again, regardless of additions or subtractions 1*~~Could not finish it; would not even make possums suffer with this (I haven't found many of these--only one of my own that I grabbed from the internet!!) <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg">
