SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH BROCCOLI

Another cool day, but the sun is out and now at almost ten o'clock you can already feel that it is going to be warming up very soon.  High 80's for the weekend.  Perfect!  But while it is still cool today, here is a quick recipe for dinner tonight.  Serve with grilled Pork Chops and a salad.  Home cooking at its best!  This is one of put together casseroles that I used to make for my kids.  Good way to get picky eaters to get some healthy Broccoli!

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH BROCCOLI

Serves 4 or 5

4 Russet Potatoes sliced thin
1 pkg of Broccoli flowerets
1 3/4 cups whole milk
2 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/2 large Onion chopped fine
2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
Salt and Pepper

Slice the potatoes thinly. Cover with water.  On a large platter or pie dish, put the broccoli and 1/4 cup water, microwave for just about 2 minutes.  Drain and set aside.  Butter a casserole generously.  In a skillet, put 2 tablespoons of butter.  Add the onions and saute until tender.  Slowly add the flour, then the milk. Cook for about two minutes. Drain the potatoes and pat dry.  Put a layer of potatoes, then broccoli, then cheese into the casserole. Salt and pepper each layer.  Add another layer of potatoes, broccoli and cheese.  Top with the last layer of potatoes.  Pour the liquid over all.  Add one more layer of cheese on top of that.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes until the potatoes are tender.  Great today or any day!

Thanks for stopping in today
