Crockpot Ham and Potato Casserole: A Comfort Food Classic

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:

  • Wash and thinly slice the potatoes. No need to peel them unless you prefer.
  • Dice the ham into bite-sized pieces and chop the onion.

2. Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot:

  1. Grease the inside of your crockpot with nonstick spray or a light coat of butter.
  2. Add a layer of sliced potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of diced ham, onions, and shredded cheese.
  3. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, melted butter, garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pour the mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.

4. Cook the Casserole:

  • Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • The casserole is ready when the potatoes are tender, and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

5. Add Final Touches:

  • If you’d like a crispy topping, sprinkle additional cheese or breadcrumbs on top and broil the casserole for a few minutes in the oven before serving.
