Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups potatoes, diced (about 4 medium potatoes)
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Dice the potatoes and cooked ham into bite-sized pieces and chop the onion finely to ensure even cooking and layering.
  2. Mix the soup base: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with the milk, stirring thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Layer potatoes: Place half of the diced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the crockpot, creating the first layer of the casserole.
  4. Add ham and onion: Sprinkle half of the diced ham over the potatoes, followed by half of the diced onion and then half of the shredded cheddar cheese to build flavor and texture layers.
  5. Repeat layering: Add the remaining potatoes, then the rest of the ham, onions, and cheese, layering carefully for consistency and taste.
  6. Pour soup mixture: Evenly pour the soup and milk mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring the casserole is well-coated to keep all components moist and flavorful during cooking.
  7. Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika on top to enhance the overall aroma and taste. Adjust paprika based on your preference for spice and color.
  8. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
  9. Final seasoning and serve: Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve the casserole hot as a delicious, comforting main dish.
