Elsies Potato Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Cook and mash potatoes. Add all incredients, except butter and combine.
• Put into large greased casserole. Dot with butter. Bake, covered, at 350 for 30 minutes. If making ahead, cover and chill or freeze. Thaw before baking.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an oval baking dish. Drain the leeks and rinse.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and thyme, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the leeks are softened and golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Peel and slice the potatoes into very thin rounds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer half of the potatoes in the buttered dish, then layer half of the cooked leeks over the potatoes. Repeat the layers.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add the cream cheese, cream, chicken stock and garlic. Stir together, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle with the paprika and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes so the cheese melts. Pour the cream mixture over the leeks and potatoes and top with the grated cheese.
• Cover with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2 to 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with just a bit of the shallot.
• Add the heavy cream to a medium saucepan along with the remaining shallot, garlic, salt and pepper. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer while stirring. Let simmer until you see the liquid begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Layer 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, cover with some Cheddar and a sprinkling of Parmesan; repeat the layering 2 more times.
• Pour the hot liquid over the potatoes. Add the remaining cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil to bake until the cheese is golden and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing so it can settle.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 13x9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

• In a medium bowl, mix together cereal and butter. Sprinkle evenly on top of hash brown mixture.
• Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired. Garnish with additional sliced green onion if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine Cheddar and Colby Jack cheeses in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Cook macaroni in boiling salted water according to package directions; drain well and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in milk and half & half. Stir constantly, until mixture boils and thickens (about 2 to 3 minutes). Remove from heat and add cayenne and black peppers, and 2 cups of the reserved cheese mixture; stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
• Stir cooked macaroni into the sauce and season to taste. Place in the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and dot with additional butter, if desired. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.
