• 1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until they soften.
4. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

6. Add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, and stir until well combined.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat.
8. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish. Spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes, making sure to spread it evenly.
9. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes and sauce.
10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
11. Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
12. Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
13. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
