This was fantastic! I doubled the recipe and baked them in a large, glass lasagna pan and it took about an hour for them to cook the whole way through. But it was well worth the wait. I served them at our Christmas Eve dinner that we host every year and my FIL bugged me all night until I finally printed out the recipe to send home with him. I will absolutely make these again and again!

I doubled my batch and put them in a 13 x 9 baking dish to bake at 365 degrees because I was baking a different dish for dinner as well. They took like an hour to cook all the way through though. They tasted pretty good though. Not over the top fantabulous, but definitely good. Oh and they smelled amazing!

Terrific. These are the best scalloped potato's w/cheese recipe I have ever had. It was so easy and had wonderful cheesy flavor throughout. This is a recipe that will be handed out to my friends. Even my 3 yr old loved them. Thank You.
