Fidget casserole sounds amazing! Recipe please!
Sure, with the caveat that I hand-wrote this down off a website...
1 leek, thinly sliced
1 lb-ish ham, chopped or shredded or diced (recipe originally called for British "bacon") -- we're using leftover pork chops I froze
1 onion thinly sliced
3 Tb cornstarch (my notes say "try 3 1/2")
100 g shredded cheese (or more ... we usually use sharp cheddar)
1 quart milk
4-ish apples, sliced
4-6 potatoes, sliced
1 Tb dried sage
Preheat oven to 375F. Fry pork/ham/bacon with onions and leeks until soft (and pig-meat is cooked, if necessary).
Sprinkle cornstarch and sage on top of mix in pan.
Add milk and 1/2 cheese.
Continuously stir over heat until sauce thickens.
Mix creamy stuff in pan with potatoes, and apples (so this should now be all the ingredients) and salt if necessary. Dump into baking dish.
Bake for around 45 min until potatoes are cooked through and top is golden. Add rest of cheese to top and return to oven until cheese is melted and mixture looks delicious.
Serve -- we usually have a salad alongside.
I think this is an adaptation of a "fidget pie", which is this mixture in a pastry crust, which sounds like rather a bit much!
