Food Storage Recipe - Scalloped Potatoes (Dehydrated Potato Slices)


 This is a convenient way to make scalloped potatoes with out using packed mix in a box. This is healthier. 

NEED

3 cups of  Dehydrated Potato Slices  

1/2 cup of powdered milk

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons corn starch

1 teaspoon onion powder or onion flakes

1/2 tablespoon dried chives

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 3/4 cups of boiling water

2 tablespoons butter

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Pour the potato slices into a casserole dish. 

In a small bowl mix the powdered milk, flour, corn starch, onion, chives, salt, mustard powder, and pepper. 

Mix it together very well.

Pour it evenly over the potato slices

Slowly pour the boiling water over them and mix the powder up well with it. 

Mix it up until well blended.

Cut the butter up into smaller pieces and lay on top of the potatoes.

Bake for about 45 minutes.

Remove from oven and let set for a few minutes. 

Potatoes should be tender!

Food Storage Recipe - Breakfast Skillet

Perfect meal!


We even have it for dinner!

Fry up some bacon until it is crisp , drain it (reserving the grease) , and crumble it up.

Put the grease from the bacon into the skillet and saute about a half a cup or chopped onions for a few minutes.

Add 6 cups of shredded hash browns and season.

Press into the skillet and cook until brown on bottom, flip and repeat.

Make 6 wells in the has browns and crack an egg into each one.

Cover and cook on medium low until the eggs are done.

Sprinkle with shredded cheese and the crumbled up bacon.

Recover and let the cheese melt.

The last couple of time that I made this I used the Dehydrated Potato Shreds by Augason Farms. Worked great.

A Preppers Best Friend - THRIFT STORES!!

Even with the rising prices at thrift stores , you can still find some amazing and useful items for a lot less than at big box stores.

 I love thrift stores so much. I have found so many prepping supplies, camping supplies, homeschool items, and more at them. 

I don't get to go very much lately, but this past Wednesday I actually got to go by myself and found a lot of stuff. The best thing I got was this Clothes Drying Rack! This is going to be such a help while it is cold. I can't get out to hang my clothes up when it is too cold , so with this I can set it up in my kitchen and hang stuff up.

I also got a Stansport Folding Camp Stove Toaster! They are not a lot new, but I had a discount code for the thrift store so got this for 50 cents!!

You can find tons of items at thrift stores. I have gotten oil lamps, and so much more.

Food Storage Recipe - Ravioli Lasagna

Things get tight sometimes - a lot here lately- BUT, we still want to eat different things. I pick these frozen ravioli up at the Dollar Store and we love them. This easy recipe is also frugal.

2 jars of marinara sauce

2-3 packages of frozen ravioli , thawed

1 jar of roasted red peppers , drained and chopped

1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan  cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Spray a 13X9 baking dish with cooking spray.

Spread about half of one of the jars of marinara sauce in the pan.

Arrange a layer of about half of the raviolis onto the sauce and top with about half of the peppers.  Then spread the rest of the sauce over that.
Sprinkle with about half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Repeat the layer.

Cover with foil and bake for about 35 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

Sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan cheese.

Serve with garlic bread.
