My secret obsession...

When we were at Angarsk Hills 3 weeks ago, I had a dish that consisted of chicken topped with mayonnaise, bacon bits, chopped tomatoes, mushrooms (promptly removed, thank you) and cheese. It was DE-licious. I dreamt about it afterwards! How sick is that? I tried to duplicate it but it was nas-TEE!

Anyway, with little else to do sometimes, I experimented and came up with my latest obsession. I eat it every 2 days! I’m calling it Russian vegetable medley.I peel a potato, then with a peeler, slice it up thin. I do the same with carrot (the carrots here are huge, so I only need one). Add a thinly sliced small onion, ½ of a red, green or yellow pepper, then add a thinly sliced tomato. I suppose if you’re one of those sick people who actually like mushrooms, you could throw some of those in. Mix them all up in a bowl. Now for the bacon flavor, I had fried some bacon the other day and saved the fat. I use just a little to grease the casserole dish, then toss in the vegetables. Next I mix 2 heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 heaping spoons of sour cream. Spread that on top of the veggies, then add 2/3 cups of shredded cheese. I bake it on who knows what temp (the stove has no temp. control so I am for med-low) til the cheese is brown. Yummy!

Here’s the before picture (before baking that is:

And after it comes out of the oven. Can't wait to make it at home with low-fat cheeses and mayo!
