Easy-Peasy Potato and Cheese Casserole
To me there's nothing more delicious than the combination of potatoes, cheese, and sour cream mixed and melted in a casserole. Easy-Peasy Potato and Cheese Casserole is easy to fix, and a versatile dish. If you need a gluten-free option, it can be tweaked and made to suit your taste. If you aren't big on onion flavor, you can leave them out, and the dish still tastes unbelievable.
If you're looking for a casserole that's a cinch to prepare, this is it. Instead of spending loads of time chopping and dicing potatoes and onions, grab a bag of the frozen diced hash brown potatoes in the freezer aisle, and a container of sliced onions in the produce section. The preparation is as easy as taking the ingredients out of the bag when you get home from the store. I usually have most of the ingredients on hand. The potato casserole is a great dish to go along with any chicken, pork, or steak meal.
I've taken this dish to family and church potlucks, and people always ask me to bring it again next time, or for a copy of the recipe. The casserole is great side dish, and great for tailgate parties, birthday parties, baby showers, special occasions, or for any gathering with a large crowd. Think you'll love this easy, gooey, cheesy casserole treat.

Carne de porco a Alentejano
Carne de Porco à Alentejana is a traditional Portuguese Pork and Clams dish which originates in part from the Portuguese region of Alentejo. It is a true exemplification of Portuguese cuisine, simplicity, rich flavor, and unique combination of ingredients. This is seen with the combination of clams with pork, what at first might seem an unusual combination complements each other very nicely and both contribute to a rich and flavorful sauce which is truly unique. This simple and easy to make recipe lets you make this delicious Portuguese dish without the fuss.
Ingredients
1/2 pound pork fillet, cubed
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 bay leaf
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 chopped onions
1 and a half cups Portuguese white wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 chopped tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed chillies
handful chopped fresh parsley
Directions
2) Add the sliced garlic cloves, bay leaf, and cubed pork, and mix. Let it marinate for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.
3) Remove pork; reserve the marinade. Pat pork completely dry. Discard the bay leaf.
4) Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in large frying pan. Add the pork, stirring frequently so that the meat browns quickly and evenly. Transfer it to a bowl.
5) Pour the reserved marinade into frying pan and bring to the boil over high heat, scraping off any brown bits clinging to the inside of pan. Boil uncovered until marinade is reduced by 1/3. Pour over the pork and set it aside.
In a saucepan, heat the remaining oil; add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until onion is soft but not brown. Add minced garlic, tomatoes and crushed chillies. Simmer, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
6) Spread the clams over the sauce; cover the saucepan and cook over high heat for ten minutes or until clams open. Stir in the pork and marinade. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat thoroughly.
7) Sprinkle with the parsley on a platter and serve with some bread to enjoy all of the sauce!

Toppings
cinnamon

Add rice and cover, simmering for 20 minutes.
Add milk, sugar and lemon rind, stirring constantly until thickened to oatmeal consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
It will also thicken some while cooling.

You can be decorative with cinnamon by pinching a bit between your fingers and place while your hand is no more than an inch away from the rice (criss cross patterns are traditional), or you can just dust the entire top with the cinnamon.

Potato Au Gratin(french "oh grah ton") Slowcooked
I got it off the internet.
Ingredients
Servings6
5 medium-sized potatoes
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons of butter
3 tablespoons white flour
1 clove of garlic (peeled and minced)
1 onion (peeled and sliced)
1 cup of milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chives (as much as you like, I love chives and am embarrassed to say how much I use)
Directions
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons of butter
3 tablespoons white flour
1 clove of garlic (peeled and minced)
1 onion (peeled and sliced)
1 cup of milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chives (as much as you like, I love chives and am embarrassed to say how much I use)
1. Wash and peel your potatoes.
2. Slice potatoes into discs, roughly half a centimeter thick. For all my non-metric friends out there, think 2-3 silver dollars stacked on top of each other.
3. Line the bottom of your slow cooker pot with the first layer of potato slices, add salt and pepper to your taste or dietary liking, then add the next layer of potato slices and add salt and pepper again. Repeat this process until you're out of potato slices or you get tired of doing it, whichever comes first.
4. Melt butter in a pot set on medium heat. As soon as the butter is melted, whisk in flour until the mixture becomes thick and doughy. Add sliced onions and minced garlic. Keep on whisking and gradually add the milk.
5. Add the shredded cheese and continue whisking until you have something thick, but smooth, or get tired of whisking, whichever comes first. Lets be real, having pockets of semi-melted cheese in your dish can be a treat.
6. Pour your cheese sauce into the slow cooker pot on top of the layered potatoes. You may need to tip the pot back and forth so the sauce gets everywhere.
7. Cook on high in the slow cooker for ~3 hours, and then check every 15-30 minutes until you can easily poke through the potatoes with a fork (in the future, just remember how much time it took your slow cooker to get it perfect and you wont need to do this again.) Use chives for garnish.
