I have this recipe that I made all the time pre-IBS. I tried it a couple nights ago with the substitutions and it just didn't turn out good. It was a bit bland and the girls wouldn't eat it. I was going to make it for our family Easter meal on Sat. Has anyone tried one that turned out good? The recipe I had was simple and I just don't understand why it didn't work.

Eek, that scares me since I haven't tried ours since IBS either and we were also going to make it for Easter! I agree with Shell, post it and we'll check it out... hopefully someone will have a suggestion!

This is from my sister so I never wrote down the oven temperature. LOL I think I had the tempurature at 375.
6 medium potatoes
3 Tbsp. butter- (I used about 1 Tbsp of soy butter)
1 small onion finely chopped
3 Tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 1/2 cups of milk (soy milk)
Grease 2 qt. casseroles. Heat the butter in a saucepan and cook onions, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook stirring constantly till smooth and bubbling. Remove from heat. Stir in milk and heat until boiling, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 min. Rotate 1/2 potatoes, 1/2 sauce. Cover and bake 30 min and then uncovered 60-70min until potatoes are tender.
The recipe says you can stir in 3/4 cup of cheese in sauce before pouring over potatoes.
I did add the cheese but then cooked it longer to melt the soy cheese. Maybe I should have added it with the milk. I was also wondering if I should have cut down on the flour. Since it had the onions, I wasn't sure if it was suppose to be equal parts flour and oil. It seems like this recipe should work, don't you think?

How about a little minced garlic? If not fresh, even power would increase the flavor.... maybe s few chopped up slices of turkey ham from the deli or turkey bacon?
Yeah, add the cheese when you add the soy milk.

maybe a bay leaf... it will float to the top and you can remove it before serving?
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp dry mustard

I was thinking about garlic might help but do you want to know what the problem probable is? I always added kielbasa to it. That is probable the majority of the problem. I also think I was conservative with the salt, which is actually odd. I might just make baked potatoes like you since I'm such a lazy person. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow since it will be my first time home since last Friday.

as for the flour (I personally) would leave it...it is used to thinken the sauce....but since your using less butter, you MIGHT want to add more soymilk (equivilant) or even chicken or veg broth if you have the kind in the carton so you don't have to open a new can just for a few tablespoons.

There IS turkey sausage (kelbasa ) made by Jennie-O, you can just remove the casing and chop it up. I have done that and added it to my liquids when making rice.... makes it real yummy!!
