Easy and Different Recipes

Great as a side too
I have a recipe book with hand written recipes that is 68 years old and last night was a good time for me to drag it back out I came across this recipe different from the way I have always done it and it sounds scrummy.

Tomato Dish
Line your casserole dish with sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Then place a layer of bread crumbs,
Then a layer of grated cheese
Break in 1 egg per person
Then layer again Tomato,bread crumbs and grated cheese
If desired top with bacon pieces

Potato Bake
Simply delicious and a big favourite in my family
Will accompany any dish you like
This recipe can be halved for smaller servings

Ingredients
6 large potatoes or 8 medium potatoes
1 pkt French onion soup
5/600 ml cream

Method
Peel and slice potatoes thinly and place layers in greased oven proof dish.
Mix together the cream and French onion soup and pour over potatoes.
Cook in oven 180 for approximately 1-11/2 hours.
Serves 6-8
If you want to get it off to a quicker start cook on high in your microwave about 15 mins, in fact if you were short on time you could continue microwaving until cooked through, although I prefer the brownness in the oven.
I also like adding crushed garlic
