Ingredients:
- 4 cups diced potatoes
- 2 cups diced ham
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, diced ham, and chopped onion. This forms the base of the casserole, bringing together the savory ham and tender potatoes.
- Mix the Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika until everything is well combined. This creamy sauce will coat the potatoes and ham, creating a rich and flavorful dish.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Add half of the potato and ham mixture to the bottom of the crockpot. Pour half of the sauce evenly over the potatoes and ham. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, ham, and sauce, layering the ingredients.
- Cook the Casserole:
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the casserole is bubbly. The long, slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve:
- Once the cooking time is up, stir the casserole gently to mix everything together. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added freshness if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
This Crockpot Ham and Potato Casserole is a complete meal on its own, but it also pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded dinner.
