Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

This is a Grandma Recipe. My Grandma (who we called Mimi) used to make this dish in the crockpot after holidays when she had leftover ham. Seeing as how I don’t host holidays yet…I never have leftover ham and I crave this dish every now and then so I buy thicker lunch meat ham as a substitute. Cooking the potatoes, ham and cheese in the crockpot all day makes for a very delicious comfort food dish that always reminds me of family. Plus, it’s really simple and doesn’t require a whole lot of ingredients. Definitely not a “diet” dish…then again…most comfort foods aren’t!

Ingredients
5 or 6 large russet potatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups (or a half pound) of ham, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Salt & Pepper

1. Once everything is prepped for this meal, it is really easy to put together. I like to just set up little bowls with everything in them ready to go. Cheese, chopped ham, and chopped onion.

2. Peel potatoes and cut into slices to layer in the crockpot.

3. In the crockpot, start with a layer of potatoes that cover the bottom. Layer cheese, ham and onions and sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper. Repeat this process until you reach the top of the crockpot (or run out of ingredients!).

4. When you get to the top, end with a layer of potatoes. Pour entire can of cream of mushroom soup on the top and spread over to make sure everything is covered.


5. Sprinkle with one more layer of cheese.

6. Cook on low in the crockpot for 6 hours.
