If you cannot find ham-flavored TVP, you may substitute the bacon-flavored variety. In any case, the celery, cheddar and onion will pack this dish with flavor. Serve as a side dish or main course. It has plenty of protein from the milk, cheese, and TVP.
Serves 4-5.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/4 inch slices
- 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1/2 c onion, chopped
- 1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 c ham-flavored TVP, dry
- 1 Tbsp margarine or butter (plus more for buttering the pan)
- 1-10 oz can evaporated milk
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. and butter a 9 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish or similar.
- In a bag, place the potato slices, flour, salt and pepper and shake vigorously until all slices are coated.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, cheddar cheese, celery and dry TVP until well blended.
- Place half of the potato slices in the bottom of the buttered pan in an even layer. Sprinkle with half of the TVP mixture. Dot with a half-tablespoon of the margarine. Next add a layer of the remaining potatoes followed by the remainder of the TVP mixture. Dot with the last half-tablespoon of margarine and pour over the entire can of evaporated milk.
