Scalloped/Au Gratin Homestyle Casserole

No ... this is not how to make it from scratch.  This is cooking time adjustments for the boxed Idahoan casseroles.  I have no shame in my love for these, none whatsoever.  I can throw down on some pommes anna and other fussy potato dishes, but these are fast, easy and tasty.  I love these boxed franken-potatoes and I don't care who knows!!!

Best for Golden Browning
  1. PREHEAT oven to 450°F. COMBINE potatoes and sauce mix in 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
  2. STIR in 1 1/2 cups boiling water, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 Tbsp. margarine or butter with whisk.
  3. BAKE uncovered for 25 minutes or until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender (sauce will thicken slightly when cooling).
  4. Remove from oven and let stand a few minutes before serving.
  5. BAKING NOTES: 

  • To prepare 2 casseroles at once, double all ingredients, increase baking dish size accordingly, and bake about 30 min.
