Potato Bake
from the back of the soup can!

1kg potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

1x420g can Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup

¾ cup milk
Black pepper, to taste
½ cup fresh or ¼ cup dried breadcumbs
½ cup grated tasty cheese

Preheat ovent to 220˚C. Lightly grease an 8-cup ovenproof, microwave safe dish

Evenly layer potatoes in prepared dish. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave 10 minutes or until potatoes are just tender.

Meanwhile, combime soup, milk and pepper. Pour evenly over the potatoes, gently shaking the dish to allow the mixture to run through the potato layers.

Combine cheese and breadcrumbs and sprinkle over potato mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes until hot and golden.

We had a BBQ for dinner and I wanted something to pep it up just a little bit. Meat and salad gets a bit boring after a while. I remembered I had a can of soup of in the pantry and .... here we have something a bit tasty for dinner.

I feel like I am cheating badly by blogging this super-easy, straight-off-the-back-of-the-can recipe but what I had planned to blog didn't quite work out. I attempted to make a batch of Anzac biscuits (cookies for the Americans). "What?" I hear you cry. "How can you mess up Anzac biscuits?" Let's just say my head wasn't quite where it should have been. The funniest part is that I couldn't work out what was wrong with the mix. Did I add too many oats? Did I need more butter to bind it all together? There was no way that mixture was going to stick together to make biscuits so I improvised and put it into a baking tray to make an Anzac slice. It came out dripping butter and although quite tasty wasn't quite right. About an hour later it hit me - I forgot to add the flour! How can you forget to add flour to a recipe for biscuits? I don't really know but I'm fully prepared to blame the offspring for lack of any better excuse LOL.
