Really disappointed with how it turned out for me. I had to fix this several times and once the texture was ok. My kids eat anything but not very lucky tonight1

I did as some of the reviewers had suggested and mixed the flour and milk together with some garlic powder, salt and pepper. Then I covered with foil for 30 minutes and uncovered for 30 minutes. I personally thought it was rather bland but those I served it to absolutely raved so I'll be making it again!

After reading all the reviews, I didn't follow this recipe to the T (I never do!), but used it as an inspiration. I am one for spices and this didn't have enough, so I added a few dashes of a blend of peppers/chillies as well as a clove of minced garlic, plus 2 tbsp sour cream. And I added 2 breasts of boiled cubed chicken to make it more of a casserole. Having read all the reviews regarding the extremely slow cooking time, I used my food processor and sliced the potatoes up really thin, but I made the mistake of not either (1) boiling them for 5-10 minutes beforehand or (2) putting it in a 13x9 baking dish (vs a 9x9 one). Despite the EXTREMELY LONG cooking time (1 hr at 375 plus 15 mins at 425!!!), this turned out DELICIOUS!!! thanks for the inspiration...

This was an easy and tasty recipe. I used shredded cheddar and monterey jack instead of sliced cheddar. I also sliced to potatoes VERY thin to make sure they cooked in the time stated.

I was not impressed. There was a lack of flavor even when I kicked it up a bit on my own. I will try another recipe next time. This one needs lots of work!

Where's the flavor? I even added a little extra cheese and they still came out bland. The top also dried out leaving me with some nice discs. Other scalloped potatoe recipes may take a little more time and prep, compared to this recipe it's worth it! This reminded me of a edible white paste.

I should have read the reviews before making... I doubled the recipe and made many layers. This was not good. After 1/2 hr in the oven, the top was dry and down below I could see a big milky lake. At this point, the rest of the dinner was ready to go. So, to cook the scalloped potatoes faster, I dumped the whole thing in a skillet. Brought the milk to almost boiling. Then turned it down to low and covered for 15 minutes. Came out wonderfully cheesy, potatoes were tender. It was saved! Oh, also, I used grated cheddar cheese not slices.

I should have read the reviews first. This recipe was blah. I ended up making a cheese sauce and adding it while I was cooking it. It's been in the oven for 2 hours and it's still not done. Never again!

I also make this recipe omitting the cheese and using thinly sliced onions instead. Great for bbq's.

I followed the reviewers' advice and mixed the flour with the milk prior to pouring it over the top. However, I think this would be better with some garlic or some additional seasoning. Definitely cover with foil - this would've taken far too long otherwise.

Entire family loved this - but I only sliced 5 potatoes (microwaved for 4 minutes), used cheddar and parmesan cheeses, added garlic powder, and mixed the flour and milk before pouring. Definitely cook covered for 30 mins and uncovered for 30 mins.

My husband LOVED this recipe! It was very simple to make and tasted wonderful. Make sure to cut the potatoes think enough and don't make too many layers or the potatoes don't get soft enough. I also added scallions in between the layers to add a hint of onion flavor.

I found the prepartion to be simple and easy. However, like many other people, I found the cooking time to be completely off! After cooking for the specified time, the potatoes had barely cooked. I ended up having to cook the potatoes for at least another hour. Other problems: there wasn't enough cheese and I wasn't sure whether to cover the dish or not. When I finally was able to eat the dish, I didn't think it tasted very good. A suggestion to anyone else who is thnking about cooking this dish, cook it covered with tin foil. Also, use shredded cheese of your choice. The cheese will melt more evenly. And if you want a little more flavor, add some cubed ham.

I made it with cheddar cheese soup. The only thing I didn't like was how runny it was. Next time I will use less milk. Also bump up the cooking time by 30 Min.

I am still in the middle of cooking this recipe and it is just awful. My potatoes have been in well over the cooking time and are still not done, and I used the potato peeler to slice my potatoes paper thin!! I had no problem with the milk and flour not mixing, but I did have to add more milk because it was starting to get dry. From my taste tests so far, it doesn't have much flavor, even though I added onion and garlic powder....
