Cheesy Catfish Bake
Sent in by Duffy.


~ 2 lbs catfish fillets
~ 1 stick margarine, divided
~ 4 medium potatoes, peeled, cut into julienne strips
~ 1 tsp salt
~ 3 tbsp flour
~ 1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
~ 2 cups evaporated unsweetened milk
~ 1/2 tsp pepper
~ 1/2 tsp salt
~ 2 cups finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
~ 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Place potatoes and 1 tsp salt in a pan and cover with water to cover. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer 2 – 3 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender. Drain and pat dry.

Add potatoes back to pan and gently toss with 2 tbsp margarine until margarine is melted.

Grease a 13 x 9 baking dish with 2 tbsp margarine. Arrange fish in pan.

In a saucepan, melt 3 tbsp margarine over low heat. Add flour, mustard, pepper and salt.

Turn heat to medium and slowly pour in milk. Stir constantly until thick and bubbly.

Remove from heat and add ½ cup cheese. Stir to melt cheese.

Pour sauce over the fish. Arrange potatoes on top. Sprinkle on remaining cheese.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until cheese melts and fish is flaky.

Sprinkle on the chopped onion. Serve and enjoy.
