Learn how to make a delicious and creamy Treasure Cave Blue Cheese potato gratin casserole with these easy step-by-step instructions. This classic French dish is simple to make but will impress your dinner guests with its rich decadent flavor!
I’ve teamed up with Treasure Cave for the next few months!
Treasure Cave got a new makeover! Blue cheese can totally be polarizing, amiright? But over here, we love it!! My dad and Father in law both are obsessed so I’ve learned that I’d better have new and fun recipes to serve just whenever either come into town. You’ll notice there’s new packaging and the flavor is just as wonderful and funky as ever!
Made with thinly sliced potatoes, cream, two kinds of cheese, onions, roasted garlic and fresh herbs. It’s a side dish you won’t be able to get enough of!
I actually used to hate blue cheese. Treasure Cave Cheese is literally the brand that sold me on it. Its flavor was totally different than other blue cheeses and gorgonzola I’d tried. So, when I got an email about partnering together, it was an immediate yes. Not because of all the blue cheese lovers out there, but because I am convinced that I can convert the haters.
Trying Treasure Cave Cheese will literally be a turning point for everyone out there that avoids blue or gorgonzola cheese. With this potato recipe, I’m aiming to take the peculiar flavor of blue cheese and incorporate it into a unique and outrageously flavorful dish. Over the next few months I’m going to give you three recipes that will change any blue cheese hater to a blue cheese lover. Stay tuned.
Utah Cuisine
If you asked anyone outside of Utah what typical Utah cuisine is, my guess is that they wouldn’t have a clue. Heck, if you asked people living in Utah, they might have no clue too, but there are a few dishes Utah is famous for…funeral potatoes, casseroles and Jell-O.
So I thought, let’s make a blue cheese spin on funeral potatoes and make it into a potato casserole! Everyone loves a side of potato casserole! It’s so comforting and indulgent! You won’t believe the extra depth of flavor adding Treasure Cave Blue Cheese gives to this recipe! I went ahead and didn’t include Jell-O…you’re welcome!
Ingredients for Blue Cheese Potato Gratin
I mentioned that I was once a blue cheese hater, but I’ve come to learn that in potatoes, in a dip, or anywhere it’s hidden, I can see that it adds a layer of flavor that wouldn’t be there without it. There’s an acid that adds such balance to recipes.
Cue the salt, fat, acid, heat section of our cookbook. Utilizing these few things (salt, fat, acid, and heat) transforms your cooking to levels you never knew you could cook at! Here is what you will need for this recipe:
Bite-size pieces of chicken are tossed in a mixture of oil and spices before being quickly cooked in a hot skillet to create these flavorful and juicy Indian Chicken Bites. Served with Cilantro Lime Rice or Mushroom and Pepper Rice Pilaf this is a meal that my whole family loves.
Chicken Bites
Incredibly flavorful and juicy Chicken Bites are a terrific dinner for the busiest of weeknights! This has become one of my favorite fast dinners over the past 12 years.
I originally stumbled across a recipe for Indian Chicken Bits and as soon as I saw the ingredient list and the simplicity of it all, I knew we’d be trying it soon. I saved the recipe in my “want to try this” folder.
Later that month, while we had a houseful of sick kids, Sean was able to toss these Chicken Bits together for a simple dinner over the weekend. There is not a distinct Indian flavor to this dish. However, the chicken is loaded with great flavor and just a hint of spicy heat. We all enjoyed it very much.
This is a very easy meal, maybe 30 minutes from start to finish and that includes letting the chicken rest for a while.
We’ve made this countless times over the past six years. As an appetizer or a main dish, this chicken is fantastic.
I’ve this chicken with the rice dishes I mentioned above, or on its own with Homemade Ranch Dip. I often serve the chicken along with a whole lot of fresh vegetables for dipping with the ranch dip.
Chicken bite recipes have become a popular dinner option in my house and we now make Southwest Chicken Bites, Honey Sriracha Chicken Bites, Huli, Huli Chicken Bites, Chipotle Ranch Chicken Bites, Honey Spice Broiled C
Mouth-watering homemade Oreos with chocolate cookies and a delicious creamy filling will have the whole house begging for more.
Oreos are a big hit at our house and they are probably just as loved in almost every house in America. A crispy chocolate cookie and a sweet creamy center, what’s not to love? I guess some people are a little biased one way or another towards either the cookie or the cream, to dip or not dip but any way you look at it, these cookies have something special for everybody!
My husband especially loves this recipe for fake Oreos and I love it too, it is such a simple recipe for something so delicious! Who would’ve thought that a delicately sweet creamy filling sandwiched between two perfectly chocolatey Oreo cookies would be so simple to make in your own kitchen and taste so similar to the real deal?!
These are definitely going to be a new favorite at our house. These would also be great to make with the littles. They are going to love helping you squish the two cookies together. Sure, maybe a little messy but fun none the less!

How to Make Fake Oreos
This recipe is as easy as making chocolate cookies and while they are baking, you make the simple creamy filling! Let the cookies cool and then assemble. You better make a double batch because they are going to go fast! Here are the basic steps:
Cookies
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream: Add the butter and sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream them together until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.

- Cool: While the cookies are baking, make the frosting. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
Frosting

Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal is one of our favorite breakfasts; my boys would happily eat this every single morning all fall long if I let them.
There is just something awesome about the way oatmeal changes when it is baked. Almost like a cake, but not nearly so sweet, this is a hearty breakfast that we all love.
This pumpkin baked oatmeal has been our Thanksgiving breakfast for the past few years. I’m in favor of anything that makes my holiday kitchen work easier.
There is enough other cooking happening for the holidays, an easy breakfast is ideal. This hearty oatmeal breakfast bake is as easy as it gets.
I stir the ingredients together the night before and pop the pan in the fridge until morning. About an hour before we want to eat breakfast, I give the oatmeal a quick stir in the pan and then pop the cold pan in the pre-heated oven.
The house smells wonderful while the oatmeal bakes and this breakfast puts a smile on everyone’s face as we get ready for a day of Thanksgiving feasting.
Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
When it comes to oatmeal, my family means business. We eat oatmeal for breakfast many times a week and I’ve come up with plenty of variations on a plain bowl of oats to keep things exciting.
Of course, some oatmeal recipes we never get sick of. This baked pumpkin spice oatmeal is one of them!
