Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Protein

  • 4 cups potatoes, diced (About 4 medium potatoes)
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced

Dairy and Canned Goods

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk

Spices and Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Dice the potatoes and cooked ham into bite-sized pieces and chop the onion finely to ensure even cooking and layering.
  2. Mix soup and milk: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk, stirring well until smooth to create a creamy base for the casserole.
  3. Layer the ingredients: Place half of the diced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the crockpot to form the first layer.
  4. Add ham, onion, and cheese: Sprinkle half of the diced ham over the potatoes, then add half of the diced onion, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese to build the savory layers.
  5. Repeat layering: Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, ham, onion, and cheese to complete the casserole structure.
  6. Pour creamy mixture: Pour the prepared soup and milk mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot to moisten and bind the casserole.
  7. Season the top: Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and optional paprika over the top layer to enhance the flavor profile.
  8. Cook slowly: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the casserole is heated through.
  9. Final seasoning and serving: After cooking, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve the casserole hot for a delicious, comforting meal.
