I did roasted sweet potaotes last night -- they were good.  Cut it up into pieces, coat it in some olive oil, and toss in some Old Bay seasoning.

Old bay :)

Making chicken breasts filled with jack cheese and spinach. Sliced potatoes sautéed in garlic, onion, butter. Salad or another vegetable. Haven't decided on that part yet.

We roast sweet potatoes on the grill. They're great!

Thanks!

You can make it with bacon, instead of ham. It's twice as good that way!

You are obviously envious of the family in the La Quinta commercial when the truck load of bacon dumped at the front door. :-)

I hadn't seen the commercial before, so I just watched it on YouTube. I am envious. That would be like Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and Cinco de Mayo all rolled into one!

Making Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

Ingredients:
5 lb potatoes
1 onion
1 lb ham
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp diced pimiento
2 cups cubed extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 8 oz block cream cheese, cubed
1 stick butter (using margarine voids the warranty!), cubed
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp salt (I use coarse sea salt)
1 tsp black pepper (I use fresh-ground pepper)

Peel and slice potatoes. Dice onion. Dice ham.

In large crock pot, combine potatoes, onion, ham, garlic, and pimiento. Add cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Add salt and pepper. Pour milk over mixture.

Cook in crock pot 4 hours on "high" 5 hours on 'low'. Do not stir while cooking Stir gently after 4 hours and before serving.*

*Edited. I had a little scorching at the bottom of the pot.

Ok Big Dog, lets give this a try in a my kitchen.

I have to use what I have on hand and found in the freezer a pork cut center about 2 pounds.

 I threw it into the slow cooker  for about 3 hours on high, then added the potatoes and onions for another 2 hours . 

I then added the rest of your recipe, the milk, cheese, pimentos  salt and pepper and butter. I used ground garlic as that was all I had. I did take the butter, milk, and cheese into the microwave to get it all melted at the same time
 
How will this turn out ???????    So far it smells good, I did add more garlic as I love that stuff.
 
Will be another few hours before I get to eat this concoction I got from you with my changes to your recipe to fit what I have on hand.

I am grateful that Big Dog's recipe did not call for peas to be tossed in.  *Certain people* would have stirred in peas, causing me to become nauseated.
