Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

These turned out so good! In fact, Matt had seconds and he almost never does that.

6 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 thick slice ham, diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 small can (10 1/2 ounces) cream of mushroom, chicken or celery soup
1 soup can milk
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup (4 T) butter

Spray a shallow 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Layer in half of potatoes. Cover with half of ham and onion. Top with half of cheese. Layer again with potatoes, ham, cheese and onion.

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a small bowl combine soup, milk and salt and pepper; pour over potatoes. Dot with butter. Cover and bake for 1 hour. Remove top; bake 30 to 45 minutes longer, or til potatoes are tender.

~Big Al's~ Subs

Image
 I was inspired by this article from my sister Rob, who explains who Big Al is and what he has meant to legions of hungry people in a small town: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977272353&nav=Namespace What makes Big Al's subs better than any others that I have tried are the buns. He uses the same dough recipe as he does for the pizza. This is what I have tried to recreate here. I also made the sub sauce, which is near world famous. I don't think anyone who orders a sub from Big Al's does not also get a side of the sauce. (Well, other than me, but Matt likes it, so of course I had to make it). This is my version of the Big Al's Special complete with sub sauce. Homemade Sub Buns (recipe follows) Capicola Genoa Salami Provolone Cheese Lettuce, tomato and onion Pepperoncini (optional. They aren't authentic to an Al's) Al's Sub Sauce (recipe follows) Homemade Sub Buns I use this pizza dough recipe, which I really like:
