Grandma’s Cheesy Potatoes

A bell pepper is filled with spinach, mushrooms, and lentils for a complete supper. You are allowed to use any color of bell pepper. Wraps are a terrific way to use the filling if your peppers are on the smaller side and you have extra.

OK for high fat comfort food. I added some smokey heat with smoked paprika and red pepper flakes. I really would prefer a creamier dish with a mornay (cheese) sauce. It takes longer but well worth it. Butter on top just kind of floats there. (Added parsley flakes after baking.)

Me to husband – “So do you like it?!” Husband – “I could kill half of this right now!” It’s a hit in our house.

No real taste.

I doubled the recipe and totally missed the pary about putting the butter on top… I just used a whole stick softened and cut in lil squares before too too soft… And mixed in with everything else… Not too much butter pooled at the bottom for mine… I also added a couple other cheeses i had like a little left in the bags of… It was awesome… They were Really Good!!! Will def make again!!

Excellent was my husbands response when asked what he thought about these potatoes. As far as flavor goes, I agree with him and they were really good. What I didn’t like is that they were swimming in a pool of butter making them greasy.
