Cheesy Jalapeno and Bacon Potato Au Gratin #SundaySupper

June 7, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today #SundaySupper teamed up with Wisconsin Cheese to share with you our favorite cheesy recipes.  I am so excited to share with you today’s recipe because it takes basic Potato Au Gratin and it has been kicked it up a notch. I bet you know where I am going with this.  I added jalapenos and bacon to my potatoes.  Oh-My-Gosh!!!!  It blows my mind on how good it tastes.   Nothing beats when you create a recipe that you are just so excited to share with the world.

Cheesy Jalapeno and Bacon Potato Au Gratin #SundaySupper

The potatoes are cheesy, chock full of bacon flavor with just a little kick of heat.  I have to admit, this is by far my favorite Au Gratin Potato recipe of all time.  The recipe is also easy to make too.  I used Yukon potatoes to give it a creaminess, whole milk, butter, Mild Cheddar Wisconsin Cheese, bacon, jalapenos from the garden and of course love!

Cheesy Jalapeno and Bacon Potato Au Gratin Ingredients #SundaySupper


I cut my potatoes to 1/4″ thickness.  You can use a mandolin, but I just used my knife.  I did one layer of potatoes, and topped it with finely chopped onions, jalapenos, bacon and added a little ground pepper.  After my first layer I made my cheese sauce, which is made with butter, flour, milk and of course Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese.  I poured half of the cheese mixture over my potatoes and topped with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.

I baked it in the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes.  My house smelled amazing.  I let it cool for a little bit before serving it.  You have no idea how I was tempted to dig into it as it came out of the oven, but I needed to wait for it to thicken up.

I have to tell you I was honored to be chosen to go to Wisconsin with Katie, Isabel, and Denise of #SundaySupper.  We went to the Farmers Market and I have to tell you I never seen so much cheese.  I tried Cheese Curd for the first time.  Amazing!  Plus, I was so drooling over all of the cheese with peppers in it.  I happened to sneak some cheese home in my suitcase.  🙂  Here we are, you can just call us Cheese Heads!

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
🌻
My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
