This salad is so good!!! I had it at my friend Dana’s house and then I begged her for the recipe.

This recipe is one that I got from my ex-mother-in-law years ago. She used to make it almost every time I came to visit and fortunately I got to take the recipe with me when my ex and I split up. I don’t have any pictures because it has been a while since I’ve made it, but I assure you it is very yummy!

Cook over low heat stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove form heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly, on medium heat. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted.

Cheesy Potatoes

Reta — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:21:30 +0000

I believe this recipe was shared with me by Aliesha Beauleau, by way of Deanna. It quickly became one of my favorites.

(1/2 recipe pictured)

Ingredients:
2 lbs. Potatoes O’ Brien
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
16 oz. sour cream
10 oz. cheddar cheese
1 can cream of celery or mushroom soup

Directions:
Mix together in large bowl. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

You can also cover the top with cornflakes: Mix 3-4 tablespoons melted butter with 3 cups of cornflakes. Cover the top and bake. Watch to make sure corn flakes don’t burn. (I think I have also had it with crunched up potato chips on top)

Corn Casserole

Dee — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 04:53:43 +0000

This recipe originally came from a church cookbook, although I have no idea which one. My dad used to make it when I was a kid and I actually didn’t care for it much then. Now that my tastes have changed a bit it has become one of my favorite side dishes. It is especially good served next to some spicy enchiladas.

Ingredients:
1 16 oz. can whole kernel corn (pour juice out)
1 16 oz. can cream style corn
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
8 oz. sour cream (can sub ¼ cup milk for this)
2 eggs
½ cup butter, melted
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions: Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Sprinkle the top with cheddar cheese and bake another 20 minutes or until done.
