Creamy Cheese Potatoes for the Microwave
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Microwave Cooking Time: 16-18 minutes
Serves: 4 people
Ingredients:
Six slices bacon
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 onion, chopped
8 oz Processed cheese, diced
One (8 oz.) carton commercial sour cream
One tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Six baking potatoes, peeled and cubed (about four lbs.)
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
8 oz Cheddar cheese, shredded
Two tsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 carton milk
Place bacon on a rack in a 12 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish; cover with paper towels. Microwave on high for five to seven minutes or until bacon is crisp. Drain bacon, reserving one-tablespoon drippings; set bacon aside. Combine potatoes, water, and salt in large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 16 to 18 minutes or until tender; stirring every four minutes. Remove from microwave and drain. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and keep warm.
Place reserved bacon drippings in a one-quart glass measuring cup; microwave on high for one minute or until hot. Stir in onion; cook on high for one to two minutes or until onion is transparent. Stir in cheese and flour; cook on high for three to four minutes or until cheese melts, stirring after two minutes. Add sour cream, milk, and Worcestershire sauce; stir with a whisk until smooth. Pour over potatoes tossing gently to coat; cover and microwave on high for one minute or until thoroughly heated. Transfer to serving dish if desired. Crumble bacon and sprinkle over the top.
