I can remember when I first started cooking. I was so scared to try anything. Basically, if it wasn’t in a box with 99% of the ingredients included and very basic instructions, then I wasn’t terrified to try it. A recipe like this would have sent me running. Then I started trying out cooking a little at a time. Each time I tried a harder recipe and succeeded, my confidence would grow.
Now, after I have a tidbit of cooking under my belt, I realize that I didn’t have to be afraid! I now know that I don’t have to be scared! I have even grown to enjoy straying from a recipe and figuring it out on my own!
Crock Pot Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes Notes:
- The original recipe called for shredded swiss cheese, but I had cheddar on hand, so that is what I used. It turned out wonderfully!
- I used Cassie, my 9×13 casserole crock pot for this recipe. If you don’t have your own Cassie yet, I would use a 5 or 6-quart crock pot so the potatoes can spread out like they do in my dear Cassie.
- If you are new to cooking, don’t be scared of this recipe because there is a “made from scratch” sauce. You can do it!
