Bacon, Potato & Broccoli

Submitted by Chef MSMomma

"In my book, you cannot go wrong with bacon, potatoes or broccoli. I saw this recipe being made on a television cooking show in the 80's and adjusted to an easier version."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 1 casserole
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 5 slices bacon
• 2 cups cubed potatoes
• 1 head broccoli
• 1 small onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Fry 5 slices of bacon. Remove bacon. In remaining bacon grease, fry potatoes, broccoli, and onion until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour, salt and cheese. Heat until cheese melts. If you choose to use cheddar cheese 1-cup of milk needs to be added to the sauce or it will be too thick.

4. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

HUGE hit here! I browned my potatoes a little before adding the onions and broccoli and used cheddar cheese. It came out a little salty as Mrs. Delishis mentioned. I would cut the salt back to about 1/4 t. next time. I made it early in the day and popped it the oven when DH got home from work. He fell in love with this casserole. I think I might make this for breakfast and top with poached eggs. Thanks for posting this delicious recipe.

Extremely good! Mine ended up being slightly salty (probably because I have salted butter) but really really tasty! The only thing I did differently was to cook the veggies with rosemary and the salt and pepper. Also used cheddar cheese instead of velveeta, but turned out VERY yummy!
