Putting the ham into scalloped potatoes with cheese sauce is how we roll now.

I make it with whole milk, butter and pepper.

We also put it in Mac & Cheese when we want a cheese sauce. I’m getting hungry

[Tailback]

Half an onion chopped. Butter and oil to saute.

Once onions are translucent add 1 ounce of flour for roux. Cook the roux until it doesn’t smell like raw flour.

Add Milk. 3-4 cups depending on how you like it. simmer with 1 clove, add salt and white pepper to taste.

Once it thickens add cheese.

Tillamook Cheddar is our choice usually because we’re in Oregon. You could do Gruyere with a little nutmeg for the French/Belgian version.

Pour over the potatoe rounds and cook for around an hour or so.
