Many people believe that you can't eat healthy comfort food. Not so!
I wanted to create something yesterday that would warm my husband before he went off to work, plowing in the city. I knew he would have a long night and need something that would stick to his ribs.
I created a healthy rendition of scallop potatoes and ham - Yum!
Quick Potato and Ham Casserole
2 T EVOO
1 medium onion diced
2 cloves of garlic
Saute these ingredients in a saute pan until soft and translucent
Add 4 T of organic salted butter.
Stir until bubbly and beginning to brown.
Add 1/4 cup of flour (I use brown rice, almond or coconut)
Whisk until fully incorporated and bubbly.
Add 1 1/2 cups of milk. (I use almond or coconut)
Whisk until thickened and bubbly.
Add 2 T stone ground mustard, 2 t of crushed rosemary, salt and pepper to taste.
Place 16 oz of organic hash browns (cubed or shredded) and 8oz of organic ham cut in chunks in a casserole dish.
Cover with sauce and toss.
Sprinkle with a small amount of organic cheddar blend (I do this on one half - I am dairy-free)
Bake uncovered in a 350 oven for about 50 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
Add a green salad or steamed broccoli and go sit in front of the fire and enjoy!
Serves 6!
Stay Warm!
