Really great recipe I added some bacon (chopped up) and some munster cheese to everything which I thought made it all that much better.

I made this recipe and invited my family to dinner. (about 10 people) Everyone loved it and I'm making as one of my dishes for my brother's birthday tomorrow. Thanks, this is a wonderful recipe.

It was unanimous! My whole family loved these "AU GRATINS". I did add an extra 1/2 cup of bread crumbs for a little crunchier topping. Very good! THANKS.

This was a great recipe! I added about another cup of cheddar cheese, an extra potato, made the onion a red and added garlic instead of paprika (we didn't have any), and it was freaking awesome. :-D My family loved it! A definite winner :) The bread crumbs and extra cheese to top it really polished the dish off.

This was the closest recipe to the au gratin my stepmom used to make for us, it was very good. I used the mild cheddar, monterey jack mix cheese for the sauce and then used mild cheddar with the bread crumbs for the topping. I also added parsely flakes in the cheese sauce and added about 1/4 cup more cheese to the recipe. Thanks for the recipe!

I added oven-baked onions to the topping, and WOW! I also used white cheddar. Very good, easy recipe.

Very good. I added ham, cubes the potatoes and microwaved the potates first for 5 minutes and still baked an additonal 40 min. They were a hit at a potluck we attended.
