How to Make Cheesy Bacon Potatoes
- Use a large pot. Saute chopped onions in butter till soft but not browned.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Stir flour mixture into onion mixture.
- Add milk and half and half. Stir and cook over medium heat till mixture begins to thicken (about 3 minutes).
- Turn off heat.
- Add 1 1/2 cups cheese to the sauce and stir till melted and smooth.
- Add sliced potatoes, bacon and stir well to combine.
- Pour mixture into a casserole dish sprayed with no stick spray. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle reserved cheese over top and return to oven to bake another 30 minutes or until potatoes are soft, cheese is melted and edges begin to brown.
- Let stand a few minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken.
