Description
Cheesy Ham Potato Casserole is a comforting dish combining creamy potatoes, ham, and cheese, perfect for family gatherings and hearty meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon or russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- ½ medium yellow onion, diced
- 10.4 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 10.4 ounces cheddar cheese soup
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform ¾-inch pieces. This ensures even cooking. Rinse the diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, onion, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese soup, diced ham, and sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Stir everything together until the potatoes and ham are evenly coated with the creamy soup mixture. Make sure all ingredients are well distributed.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. The liquid should just cover the potatoes – if it seems dry, add a splash of milk.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for 10-20 minutes more until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Serve hot in generous portions.
Notes
- Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli or peas for extra nutrition.
