Ingredients:
- 8-10 potatoes
- 2 onions
- 2 green peppers
- 1/2 pound Velveeta cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
Instructions:
- Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, ensuring that it’s ready to cradle these delightful potatoes.
- Layering: Peel and slice the potatoes thinly. Similarly, slice the onions and green peppers. Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes for easy melting. Now, in the prepared baking pan, create layers of potatoes, peppers, onions, and Velveeta cheese, alternating between them until all the ingredients are used up.
- Seasoning: As you layer, sprinkle each layer with salt and pepper to taste. This ensures that every bite is perfectly seasoned, enhancing the flavors of the dish.
- Creamy Blend: In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until well combined. This creamy concoction will add richness and depth to the dish.
- Pour and Bake: Once all the layers are assembled, pour the soup and milk mixture evenly over the top of the layered potatoes. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil to seal in the flavors and moisture. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.
- Uncover and Finish: After the initial hour of baking, remove the foil to allow the top to brown slightly. Continue baking, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown, approximately 15-30 minutes more.
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Each spoonful of Bob’s Scalloped Potatoes is a symphony of flavors and textures, with the creamy cheese mingling perfectly with the tender potatoes and aromatic onions and peppers. Whether enjoyed as a side dish or the star of the meal, these potatoes are sure to leave everyone at the table asking for more.
