Just another one of those twists I like to throw from time to time. It’s a tradition for me to find some reason to add SOMETHING else to my “planned” Thanksgiving meal at the last moment. It will usually involve an ingredient that I have made to much of, or have to much left over.So what happens when I boil TO many potatoes for my Cheddar Mashed Bacon casserole…You end up with Scalloped Potatoes that disappeared before I got more than just a “cook’s taste” of ’em!Let’s get ready, preheat your oven to 350.Here is what you will need:2.5 quart casserole dish greased, I use a butter wrapper for this…
