Big Hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was really an easy and quick recipe. The only thing I did different was instead of all the butter I used Smart Balance.... My wife just loved it, we actually ate the rest of it with eggs on saturday morning. I think the next time I will cut the onions up a bit more and also add some. (Onion freak.) Thanks Paula it seems as though I can always count on you. And by the way I love the way you say oil!Read more

A Christmas Success!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was very tired of mashed potatoes by Christmastime this year and was looking for a potato recipie to complement my mother's... ham. This was the perfect dish. My kids don't like onions and green peppers so I used a mini chopper and minced them. They never even asked! I also halfed the butter as other reviews reccommended but ended up adding it anyway because the onions and peppers soaked it up and there was none to pour over the sliced potatoes. Got lots of compliments and this was the favorite dish on my holiday table.Read more

A tasty tidbit that will tantalize the tastebuds!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am cooking for Christmas and Christmas Eve and needed one more dish. I found several potato dishes and decided to try... this. In order to do a trial run, I scaled it down by 1/8th and cooked it in a French onion soup bowl. I boiled two small red potatoes, slicing them thin and mashing ? of them. I didn't have a bell pepper but that didn't matter. A quick trial run of this side dish was fantastic. I will be making the grown up version for Christmas. While the pepper isn?t required, the sweetness of the caramelized onions and the salty and crunch bacon bits make the dish. Sure, it's a heart attack in a Corning but it is awesome. I'm really diggin' the Dean!Read more

This casserole is easy to make and tastes great. I did not put bell pepper in it and I also only used about 2 tablespoons of... butter.Read more

" New Family Tradition"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this casserole at the last family Thanksgiving dinner hoping that someone would like it. Well, it disappeared really... fast. I had forgotten about it for this year's dinner, but the request was to have it again. It's a "HIT."Read more
