A comforting dish of scalloped potatoes with beef bacon, featuring tender sliced potatoes layered in a creamy, savory sauce. A lovely blend of textures and tastes, baked to perfection for a cozy meal.
This is a twist on the classic scalloped potato recipe that I grew up eating. My version is made with beef bacon, which is made from sliced brisket. You could also make this with turkey bacon.
To Make This Recipe You Will Need:
- beef bacon (or turkey bacon)
- onion
- unsalted butter
- Yukon gold potatoes (or red potatoes)
- all-purpose flour
- milk
- salt
- thyme
- ground black pepper
- skillet
- baking dish
- whisk
- parchment paper
- aluminum foil

To begin, brush a baking dish with butter. Set it aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°(F).
Sauté beef bacon in a large skillet until it is lightly browned, but not crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towel.
Add diced onion to the skillet, and cook in the drippings over low heat and sauté gently until the onions are tender.
When the onions are tender, add in butter and let it melt in.
Stir in all-purpose flour. Let it cook for a minute.
Whisk in milk, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook this over medium heat, stirring continually until it comes to a boil and thickens. Remove it from the heat.
Spread a third of your potatoes in the bottom of a buttered baking dish.
Sprinkle in a third of the beef bacon and then spoon a third of the sauce over the top.
Repeat with the rest of the potatoes, bacon and sauce.
I don’t like aluminum to touch my food, so I lay parchment paper over the top of the baking dish before covering it tightly with the foil.
Bake it covered for about 65-75 minutes, or until the potatoes are just about done. Remove the foil and bake 15 more minutes.
Let it rest a couple minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
