Dinner-in-a-dish

A friend of mine shared this recipe at a recipe exchange several years ago & I finally made it last night & everyone LOVED it. I was surprised but the children gobbled it up & kept asking for more. :) I used a 9x13 pan & there was just enough left for hubby's lunch.

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 qt. green beans
4 lg. potatoes
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can of milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Brown ground beef & drain. Peel and slice potatoes. In a greased casserole dish, layer potatoes, beans, ground beef and onion. Salt & pepper each layer. (I just used pepper because I'm trying to cut back on sodium) Mix milk & soup; pour over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1-1 1/2 hours

Brown hamburger & set aside. Saute onion, carrots, celery & parsley in butter until tender. Add potatoes and chicken broth. Thicken with flour. Reduce heat, add hamburger, milk, cheese, salt & pepper. Cook & stir until cheese melts. Blend in sour cream. Remove from heat & serve.
Serves 10-12

Zesty Red Potatoes

I believe I got this recipe from Taste of Home or Quick Cooking. It is very easy-the red pepper adds great flavor to the potatoes. Great way to use up your potatoes from your garden.

6 medium red potatoes, halved & thinly sliced
1 small onion, halved & thinly sliced
1/2 C butter, melted
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste

Arrange potatoes & onions in an ungreased 9 in. square pan. Combine butter, pepper flakes & salt; drizzle over potatoes & onion. Cover & bake at 400 degrees for 25 min. Uncover & bake 15-20 min. longer or until potatoes are tender.

Mary's Potato Salad

I got this recipe from my good friend, Linda. It is the BEST potato salad I have ever had.

12 C potatoes, cooked & shredded
12 eggs (hard boiled & chopped)
1 1/2 C chopped onion
1 1/2 C chopped celery
3 C mayonnaise
3 T vinegar
3 T mustard
4 tsp. salt
2 C sugar
1/2 C milk

Cook & shred potatoes, cool. Put potatoes, eggs, onion & celery in large bowl. Mix rest of ingredients and pour over potatoes. Shredded carrots can also be added. It is important that potatoes are shredded rather than cubed.

Grilled 3 cheese Potatoes

I don't recall where I got this recipe but have been making it for years now. It is SO cheesy & delicious & very convenient to put on the grill with your meat for an outdoor dinner.

6 large potatoes sliced 1/4 in. thick
2 med. onions- chopped or sliced
1/3 C grated parmesan cheese
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
1 C shredded mozzarella cheese
1 lb. bacon- cooked & crumbled
1-2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 C butter, cubed

Divide potatoes & onions between 2 pieces of foil (about 18 in. square) that are coated with nonstick spray. Combine parm. cheese & 3/4 C each cheddar & mozzarella, sprinkle over potatoes & onions. Top with bacon, butter, salt & pepper. Bring opposite ends of foil together over filling & fold down. Grill covered over medium heat 35-45 min. or until tender. Remove from grill & sprinkle with remaining cheese. Can also be made in oven @ 350 degrees for 1 hour.
