BLT Augratins

Submitted by Mrs. Bogie

"Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This recipe is one I actually adapted from a one-pot mac and cheese recipe that I've used for a while. The potatoes create their own starch to thicken, just like the macaroni, when boiled in the chicken broth. I've added the bacon, mock lettuce (spinach), and sundried tomatoes to create a special BLT augratin potato. It is ready in 30 minutes!"
