Notes

    • Substitute heavy cream or half and half for regular milk.
    • Use a mixture of potatoes and kohlrabi, if needed.
    • Add minced garlic for more flavor.
    • An Italian herb blend can be used or make your own blend with any dried herbs.
    • Instead of Italian herbs, try Herb de Provence instead.
    • Freshly grated Parmesan is my favorite, but in a bind try other types of shredded cheese.
    • Make this a main course by adding cubed ham, bacon or cooked pork sausage in the layers.
    • I love to sprinkle paprika over the top of a cheesy casserole before baking.
    • Love garden recipes? Try these pickled beets. Want to grill some veggies? Try Farmwife Cooks Grilled Marinated Vegetables.
