Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour, salt and pepper, then use a whisk to blend it in. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook and whisk this mixture over medium-low heat until it is smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Add the cheese to the sauce pan and mix until smooth.
- In a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, add the cooked potatoes, green pepper and pimentos. Stir slightly. (Reserve a few of the peppers and pimentos for adding on top of the cheese sauce if you'd like. It gives a pop of color.)
- Pour the cheese sauce over the top of the potatoes. Gently stir to distribute the cheese sauce evenly. Sprinkle any reserved pimentos & peppers on top.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and the melted butter. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the bread crumbs overtop the cheese covered potatoes.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and heated through.
- Garnish with freshly snipped parsley.
