New Year New Start

Here are some new stuff we tried out last night! It was a big hit with all 4 of us! I am doing Weight Watchers so it's healthy too! But more important it was a winner with my Steak and Potatoes kind of guy ;)

Both were taken from Weight Watchers

Au Gratin Potatoes

*I used Light Butter instead of Regular Butter
* I cut the time to 45 min in the oven and 2 min under the broiler
It's worth 4 Points

Ingredients

1 spray(s) cooking spray
1 Tbsp butter
1 medium onion(s), thinly sliced
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
2 pound(s) uncooked Yukon Gold potato(es), thinly sliced
1 cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 2-quart covered baking dish with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour; add milk slowly, stirring. Add potatoes and stir to mix. Bring to a boil. Stir in 3/4 cup of cheese, salt and pepper.
• Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and level out surface. Bake for 1 hour, uncovered. Cover and bake until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes more.
• Change oven temperature to broil. Sprinkle remaining cheese over potatoes. Broil 6 inches from the heating element until the cheese is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.
