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!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
