The ratio of meat and carrot to potato is higher, too., like 1/3 each. Mixed with a basic scalloped potato sauce (no cream of soup). Dont skimp on salt and pepper else its pretty dang bland. Then baked a long dang time until the carrots and potatoes are soft, which depends on how thin you cut them. Hard to screw up and my kid likes it. I only make it when its the two of us home. If I were to re-write the recipe using noodles, Id omit the carrot, add mushrooms, use cream of mush soup and call it stroganoff hotdish. Ha! |

Don't you get tired of it? Angela went through a phase like that when she was younger. Chicken was the only meat she would eat. She like chicken on salad with a sesame dressing that Costco sells every few years. My meals for just myself have a lot of sameness. For instance, my breakfast is almost always cottage cheese and toast. When I was working I had salad for lunch every day. I might have varied the veggies a bit. |

My mother occasionally made scalloped potatoes with a white sauce but the meat was usually cubed ham or browned sliced smoked sausage. It was tasty. :) She didn't call it a "hotdish", though. Now I'm thinking I need to make scalloped potatoes sometime soon! Jill |

I should have said €ślike€ť but didnt. This is NOT scalloped potatoes, but when you add a white sauce to potatoes and bake, the basic outcome isnt much different. :-) |

What time shall I arrive? That dinner has been postponed until a late lunch tomorrow (2:30PMish). Had too much blood sucked out of me today and didn't feel like cooking. Instead, dinner was highly modified $1 Totino's pizza (added cheese, pepperoni, and hot giardiniera) and some spicy epazote potatoes. It took me three days to get that dinner this far (marinating + SV), it can wait another 20 hours. -sw |

Now we get to argue over the definition of a casserole again. Ham is a classic in scalloped potatoes. Cindy Hamilton |

All the stuff most people do after work and before bed, I do in the morning. Anyway, I didn't mean to imply that I go to bed immediately after dinner. Just that my evenings are relatively short, by choice. Cindy Hamilton |

I know someone who lived the way you seemed to describe and it was totally depressing to witness, even from a distance. Good for you, if you don't sacrifice your life for someone else's company. |

Cubes of chuck was hacked to pieces with my cleaver. I don't recommend that old folks use this method because they might lose something that they planned on taking with them in their afterlife. I put a couple of peppers on the chuck and chopped that all to heck too. The burgers were served with some buttered squash, cucumber/carrot with sesame dressing, and kim chee. https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/...Ixt6Kkc4rjmcmM |

Good for you, if > you don't sacrifice your life for someone else's company. My husband and I joke that he broke our circadian rhythms when he had a gig collecting data pre-dawn one summer. We had our alarm set for 2 am so he could get set up before sunrise. We've been extreme morning people ever since, although we now consider 4 am a good wakeup time. Cindy Hamilton |
