We had our Thanksgiving Dinner Saturday, Was asked to cook 2 Hams and make the Bacon Cheese Scalloped Potato Dome again
Sorry I know I just made this for the first time back in Aug. But was asked to make it by my MIL, and I always do what she asks. Which is not very much.
So baked 2 hams Total size was 17+ pounds, baked , cooled than sliced nice thick slices.
Made a Crushed Pineapple glaze/sauce poured over top of Ham and reheated in the BBQ
Edit = ( After doing up the post , realized forgot to take some of the main pictures, I suck )
While this was being done I made my basket weave bacon and put in the fridge while getting the potatoes ready.
Mixed a can of cream of celery soup and 1/2 can of milk and ground pepper in large bowl and added the sliced
potatoes to the mix. Let soak while I cooked up small cut bacon and onions for inside the Dome.
Place the bacon weave into the bowl, Add a layer of Mozza Cheese to cover bottom and sides. Add layer
of the potatoes, a layer of the cooked bacon and onion mix. Keep adding layers until the bowl is filled. Fill
the bowl up and mound it in the middle to help it from sagging later.
I don't know what happened I though I had pictures of the stacking process and of it in the oven.
While it bakes for 2 hours have the ham on the BBQ at 350 with only the 2 outside burners on , so as to bake also again.
Cut up fresh pineapple and fried in the pan the bacon was in , just for garnish
Took potato Dome out of the over , removed from the cook bowl , by flipping upside down ( or back upright ) depends on how you think of it
And placed on a wire rack and back in the over to brown and crisp the bacon shell
All was ready just in time I was told Also had Brown sugar corn niblets, pork based stuffing, saved some glaze/sauce to add to plates if needed.
And of coarse regular, pickles , tomatoes and cukes
After this everything must have just went to hell as I did not take anymore pictures again. So once everything was cleaned up . I realized what I did not do .
So after Mona gave some leftovers to her brother to take home there was not much of the potato dome left . But I pulled it out of the fridge and took a couple of shots
not as good when i first sliced it ( it was still nice and round and high) even on the plates . ( the Dome is the size of a large dinner plate )
So I guess you can see the layers , but not hot or juicy and the mozza is not stretchy either.
Well thanks for looking , can't believe I forgot the important pictures. Oh and there was pie also....gee I suck lol

That was an amazing amount of effort for a beautiful outcome! Great work! You had me guffawing with your comments on lacking pictures. You’re in the trenches, no worries, happy you shared what you did and I’m sure you’re family appreciated it even more!
