Description
Make a rich, cheesy, and creamy scalloped potato and ham casserole easily in your slow cooker. This recipe uses simple ingredients for a hearty comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1.5 cups cooked ham, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker insert.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese and Gouda cheese, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cheddar for the top layer.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle half of the diced ham and half of the chopped onion over the potatoes.
- Pour half of the cheese sauce mixture evenly over the layers.
- Repeat the layering process: remaining potatoes, remaining ham, remaining onion, and the rest of the sauce.
- Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For best results, slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works well for uniform thickness.
- If you do not have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute with cream of mushroom soup.
- This recipe works well using leftover holiday ham.
- You can prepare the layers the night before and store them covered in the refrigerator; add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.
