Re-baked Potato Casserole:

Here is an easy re-baked potato dish which goes well with any kind of roast.
What you need. What you do.
8 medium potatoes. Wash potatoes and wrap in kraft paper or foil. Bake a400 deg. until done. (about 1 hour.)
5 slices of bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel.
6 tbsp. butter. 1 cup minced onion, 1/2 cup minced green pepper, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1 cop shredded mozzarella cheese. Peel potatoes and mash in a large bowl with butter. Add onions, peppers, salt, ground black pepper, and cheese. Mix until blended. Pack in a suitable oven proof casserole.
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Spread cheddar cheese on top of potatoes and bake at 350 deg. for 30 minutes.
If oven is at some other temperature for a more critical temperature requirement, simply adjust the baking time accordingly.

Speaking of roasts, here are some tips:
We have a local butcher shop where we purchase much of our meat. They do a large business with their seasoned prime rib which we usually buy at Christmas time. This is simply a rolled, boneless, prime rib roast with their own special mixture of seasonings. Delicious does not do it justice. Here's how we prepare it. This will work for any prime rib roast. For your edification, I am also giving the roasting times we use for fowl and pork.

For seasoned prime rib:
Preheat oven to 400 deg. Place rib on a rack in an open roasting pan, fat side up. Place roast in oven and reduce heat to 350 deg. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes per pound depending on how done you like it.

For stuffed chicken or turkey:
Preheat oven to 350 deg. Roast fowl, covered for 36 to 40 minutes per pound. Remove cover for final half hour to brown the fowl.

For roast pork:
Preheat oven to 350 deg. Roast pork, covered for 45 minutes per pound.
