Layers of ham, onions and potatoes covered in cheese sauce are what comfort food dreams are made of. Be careful at holiday time, this side dish may just upstage the main course.

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 can (10 ounce size) Cheddar cheese soup

3 medium potatoes

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

time to cook--mine 45 minutes in a 9x13. Sprinkled a little powdered garlic for the salt called for. Could not find soup here so used cheese dip and added a little more milk and no flour. All in all was quite good. May make it again !!

I don't know how many scalloped Potato recipes I've tried over the years, but this one is the best. It's so easy to make, and tastes wonderful. The only thing I would change is the amount of salt, but that is personal taste and not reflective of this recipe. Thank you for a great scallop recipe!
