This was great! Even my picky eater husband liked it! I used red and Yukon Gold potatoes and did not peel them. Yum!

This is the same recipe that I grew up on. The only change I made was using 1 tsp. onion powder instead of the chopped onion (I just added it to the sauce mixture). Still yummy after all these years. A definite keeper!

Love this recipe! I add minced garlic when melting the butter. I've made this 3 times and the last time I doubled everything but the potatoes to make sure it was extra creamy. My family loved it!

I love that these potatoes are so creamy and delicious and made with real cheese (not processed cheese food product). I served these for Christmas dinner alongside a prime rib roast. My sister followed me into the kitchen as I cleared the table after dinner, picking the last little bits from the pan. :) They are so good!

I made a double portion and took to a Christmas dinner. This was a hit! It was easy to make and nothing tricky was involved. Be sure to follow the steps and you won't be sorry!

These were so easy to make and so very good! Nice and cheesy. I shredded my own sharp cheddar cheese and the taste was fantastic! This recipe is a keeper!

Excellent, and easy. I like it when I look at a recipe and realize the ingredients are in my kitchen.

After taking the cover off, I added a few French fried onions. I will make this again.

This is exactly what it is supposed to taste like. I've tried several recipes, but I'm done looking. This is the one.

Old style simplicity with home comfort taste. My husband and boss were very impressed. Made alongside baked chicken, cooked carrots, and biscuits.

Very good and easy potatoes. The first time I made they were pretty rich with alot of sauce. The next time I made using about 6 cups of potatoes and they were perfect! I lighten them up with light margarine, skim milk and 2% cheese.
