Best Bacon And Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes Recipes

LOADED SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH BACON, CHEDDAR & CHIVES

Steps:

• Position racks in upper and lower third of oven; preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Toss potatoes with oil in a large bowl until well coated. Divide between 2 large baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Roast, rotating the pans from top to bottom about halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Add onion to the pan; cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add milk; cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Preheat the broiler.
• Transfer half the potatoes to a 2-quart broiler-safe baking dish. Spread half the sauce over the potatoes and top with 1/4 cup cheese and 2 tablespoons chives. Add the remaining potatoes, sauce and cheese. Top with the bacon. Broil, watching carefully, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is beginning to brown, 1 to 5 minutes depending on your broiler. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve topped with the remaining 2 tablespoons chives.

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH BACON & ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 X13 size casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• 2. I prefer to peel my potatoes then place them in a pot of water and boil them whole or cut in half until they are just about done, this usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes depending on how many potatoes you have. This hastens the baking time. Don't forget to add salt to the water to add flavor to the potatoes. The salt infuses the potatoes during the boiling time. Slice potatoes when cool enough to handle.
• 3. Cook the bacon in a large skillet, over medium high heat, remove bacon to a platter lined with paper towel as it cooks up crisp, repeat until all is cooked, but reserve the drippings.
• 4. Add the onions to skillet of reserved bacon drippings, then cook until onions begin to become transparent, add in bacon pieces and continue to cook to blend the flavors together.
• 5. Remove bacon and onions from skillet to a plate or small bowl, then add in the half stick of butter, and allow to melt, then add in the flour, and whisk until flour blends with the butter, creating a paste.
• 6. Add in the milk and stir until flour mixture begins to blend into the milk, add in granulated garlic and pepper, stir and continue cooking over low heat until mixture begins to thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Then add in both shredded cheeses and stir until cheese is melted & mixture is creamy and smooth. Remove from heat.
• 7. Now add a layer of the potatoes to bottom of casserole dish, then top with the bacon and onion mixture,and about half of the cheese mixture. I also added extra shredded cheese between each layer and on top.
• 8. Repeat with potatoes & remaining cheese sauce. Bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Allow to cool and serve with your favorite entree.
• 9. This is the finished dish.

CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES AND BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon until done, but not crispy. Set aside on paper towels to absorb grease and pat dry. Cut into bite sized pieces when cool.
• Wash potatoes. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water, then add the potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes in boiling water (the potatoes will finish cooking in the oven). Set aside and allow to cool. Once you're able to work with the half-cooked potatoes, slice them into 1/2" pieces.
• In saucepan, melt butter. Saute the onion slices until just tender; remove from pan and set aside. Making sure you still have enough butter in your pan, stir in flour and milk, whisking until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring/whisking constantly for 1 minute. Add cheese and continue to stir until cheese melts. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix in bacon.
• In a buttered 9x13 quart casserole, layer potatoes, onion, and cheese mixture. Continue to add layers until about one inch from the top, finishing off the top layer with the cheese mixture.
• Bake in a preheated 350°F oven, covered, for 45 minutes. Take the cover off of the casserole dish, sprinkle with green onions, and bake for another 5 minutes uncovered. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt before serving, if desired.
