Ham with Au Gratin Cabbage and Creamy Potato Casserole

With St Patty's day right around the corner there was a great deal on cabbage.. and with leftover ham.. it seemed like a great Idea!  I love cabbage.. I love carrots I love swiss cheese... so what could go wrong????     Here is the recipe...

  • 2 cups  shredded Cabbage
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 egg
  • /2 cup milk
  • 3 tbs shredded Swiss Cheese
  • 1/4 tsp seasoning salt
  •  1 tbs minced parsley
  • 1 tbs shredded Parmesan cheese
In a skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute the cabbage, carrots, onions until crisp-tender. Transfer to a greased shallow 1 qt baking dish. In a bowl, combine the egg, milk, Swiss cheese and seasoning salt. Pour over the vegetables. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan Cheese. Bake uncovered at  for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.  SOUNDS wonderful.. sounds good... LOOKS great..... but tastes  YUCKY I say!!!! But hey... dont just take my word for it...  I think it needs more of something... something to give it a kick. or maybe cheddar cheese? Not sure....  

Next is Creamy Potato casserole.. what could go wrong... well lets see...

  • 1 1/2 cups hot mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbs milk
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup french-fried onions
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
In a bowl, combine potatoes, sour cream, milk and garlic powder, mix well. Spoon half into a greased 1 qt baking dish. Layer with half of the onions and cheese. Repeat layers. Bake uncovered, at 350 fpr 30 minutes or until cheese is melted. 
Sounds simple.. but left say you only have reg onions.. so you fry them up alittle... and then oh you only have a dab of sour cream so let see.. daughter left plain  GREEK yogurt here so make up the rest with that...* sour cream plain yogurt same type of stuff*  well let me tell you..  I love mashed potatoes.. I love sour cream and yogurt that is flavored *l* but add PLAIN GREEK  yogurt and you have TART tasting Mash potatoes.. they should not make a little pucker in your face!   SO I have learned... there are some things you can't interchange! Hubby has not tried it yet.. Cant wait to see HIS face! *lol*
