Fast Scalloped Potatoes

Yield: 4 servings
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 45 min

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
  • Paprika, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat; add the cheese, salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese is melted.
  2. Place potatoes in a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Top with cheese sauce. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake until potatoes are tender and sauce is bubbly and lightly golden brown, 20-25 minutes longer. If desired, sprinkle with paprika.
