Leftover Canadian Bacon

[Rings Я Us]

I grew up eating pretty straightforward Midwestern style foods. As a kid tacos were considered exotic.
One of the fall and winter comfort food staples in our home was scalloped potatoes and ham. Leftover ham from holidays mostly.
I think in the 80s my parents started putting the smoked pork chops in scalloped potatoes. So this I brought back, in the one pot meal from my youth by using my hunk of cured and smoked C.B. I made.

A stick of butter, for the sauce and for the top of the potatoes. 3 Tbs for sauce and 3 Tbs flour.
About 3 cups milk. Salt n pepper.
Used 4 bigger red potatoes and a couple onions.. I like onion.
Clove of minced garlic in the sauce.
1.5 lbs thick cut CB.
It's all sliced and ready to layer in a level even fashion.
I shaved parmesan on top using a vegetable peeler.


Thanks for looking.. Leftover CB idea. Oh, 350 oven till potatoes are done and top browned a bit.

Yeah. Grilled would work. I see balsamic drizzle or glazed ones had been popular. And someone had shaved brussel sprouts here the other day.
Thanks for the point.:)

That looks excellent, I had never considered to put the ham/CB/pork in the potatoes directly. I will have to try this!

Really looks good Johnny!!
I grew up with scalloped potatos and ham too--always ham left over from a holiday dinner. But I never thought to use CB instead of ham--back bacon was a very rare treat at our place.
