2 Onions, peeled and chopped
4 tb Butter
3 tb Flour
1 ts Salt
1 ts Pepper
2 c Milk
1 1/2- 2 lbs. cheddar cheese,-cubed or sliced*Recipe
Peel and slice potatoes and place in bowl covered with cold water (so they do not turn brown)
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and add flour, salt and pepper. Pour in the milk and stir frequently till thickened. Set aside.(Took about 15 minutes for sauce to thicken) Lightly butter a LARGE casserole (3 1/2 to 5 qt.). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Layer one quarter of the sliced potatoes, 1/4 of the onion, 1/4 of the cheese. Repeat the next layer. Then, on top of the second layer, pour half the white sauce over (be a little reserved cuz you want the majority of the white sauce on top
of the finished casserole). Then, again, repeat the next layer with potatoes, cheese, onion. Repeat the final layer with same. Pour the remaining white sauce over the top, making sure you cover all. Sprinkle the final product with salt and pepper. (optional)
Cover and bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Then, remove the cover and bake for another hour and a quarter. Don't worry if it gets a little dark on top.
