If you’ve got a finicky eater in the house, you may have given up on scalloped potatoes because they can be a little too sharp tasting, or have too much onion. This recipe for crock pot scalloped potatoes is really kid-friendly, but will be enjoyed by grown ups as well. By replacing the sharp cheddar with American Cheese, you bring the dish more in the line with a kid’s taste buds, but keep the creamy and cheesy texture and flavor. You can also add ham if you would like to create a full meal.
When you adapt your crock pot recipes to suit kids as well as grown ups, you just need to keep in mind a few things. You can always replace onion with onion powder if it’s the texture that your kids object to. You can totally eliminate black pepper if it’s too spicy. Use a creamier cheese instead of a sharper, drier one, and if they wince when confronted with a mushroom piece, make a medium white sauce to replace any cream of mushroom soup.
