With the many food allergies/intolerances we are dealing with these days (I have a wheat allergy, daughter is gluten intolerant, casein allergy, oldest son has whey allergy, and the baby is definitely milk & soy intolerant–not sure of allergy yet), mealtimes can be quite an ordeal. I’ve been able to easily adapt this recipe to make it GF & DF and still tasty to my non-GFDF husband!
I love my crock pot, but have never attempted scalloped potatoes in it before, so today I went out on a limb, per say. I took my favourite scalloped potatoes recipe from my beloved Betty Crocker cookbook and make it useful for the crock pot. Results…We Loved It! My husband found the potatoes to be a lot more moist than when I put them in the oven, and my son, well, he ate 3 helpings!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
