Home on a Plate

Had a taste for home today so I made 2 ofthe dishes my mom made for dinner. Mom worked everyday of her life since eight grade, and loved it when casseroles came into fashion ( and later when going out to eat became the thing to do, but that is another story.)

Tonight I made homemade scalloped potatoes with ham, a regular weekly dish at my house growing up, and corn pudding.

Casseroles are fairly easy once you have them put together. This one really has no official recipie, but I will list the ingredients below.

8 slices of ham, not to thick, I cut them in half

4 larger red skin potatoes, peeled, and sliced with a mandolin( thin)

1/2 medium onion diced small

1/2 pound cheddar cheese

1 bag shreaded cheese(any you like or have)

4 tablespoons butter optional I am sure

salt and pepper to taste( I used garlic and pepper salt)

1 cup milk

Depending on the depth of your pan, layer your ingredients begining with the potatoes, onion, cheese, ham.   continue layering but reserve some of the cheese for the top. Pour milk over the layered ingredients.

Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes removing the foil for the last 5 minutes( or so).

Allow to set for a few minutes before serving.

Corn Pudding

1 can cream corn

1 can whole corn drained

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

seasoning to taste

I use a whip and combine the milk and egg, add seasonings, then the cream corn and then the whole corn.

Pour into a pan and cover with foil. Bake at 350 for aprox. 30 minutes removing the foil for the last 5 minutes(or so.)
