Cookdap Community Tips and Praise

“Awesome way to use leftover ham or another way to eat store-bought ham,” raves Debbi. “This recipe is delicious and filling. Shared with neighbors and they loved it too!”

“I added a bit of garlic powder and chili powder to the ham and onions as they were cooking,” shares home cook Eva. I also sprinkled crushed rosemary before the bread crumbs. My whole house smells like rosemary potatoes (YUM!) and the taste is phenomenal.”

“I made this with leftover ham and veggies from Thanksgiving dinner,” says marcra. “My husband is an avid casserole hater and he went back for seconds.”

Ingredients

  • 6 small potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 7 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2/3 pound leftover cooked ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs

Directions

Step 1
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.

Step 3
When the potatoes are almost finished, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add ham and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 4
Drain potatoes; add to the ham mixture and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5
Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 6
Gradually whisk milk into the flour mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in Cheddar cheese until melted.

Step 7
Pour cheese sauce over ham and potatoes. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top.

Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips

Cook time will depend on the size of your potatoes. When cutting them, try to make the cubes as uniform as possible for best results.

    Very good, just needs salt.

    • 12 years ago

    This was a very tasty and hearty meal!! I was looking for a recipe to use for leftover ham and this one is a keeper! It’s quick and easy and my fiance loved it. The only thing I changed was that I added about 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and some green beans. Thanks for the recipe! *Update* I had this next day and added salt to it and it was PERFECT! I thought the ham would be salty enough and didn’t want to oversalt it…I was wrong. Add extra salt!

    • 12 years ago

    omg! this was soooooo good!

    • 12 years ago

    Ultimate decadent comfort food! Too bad I only have leftover ham about twice/year! This recipe is basically the same as my au gratin potato recipe with the exception of adding the ham and cubing instead of slicing the potatoes. Also used a combo of sharp and extra-sharp cheddar cheese. Thanks for sharing!

    • 12 years ago

    Made this with Easter ham from a week ago. – Oh what to do with all that left over ham. Made this and was skeptical. My family loved it – and they are very finikey. Yum! Clean plates – everyone loved it! Thank you. Didn’t change a thing!

    • 12 years ago

    excellent! This is going to be on my meal rotation in the future!

    • 12 years ago

    We tried this last night and I wish I had taken a photo to post bc it looked great. Slight changes just to speed it up. We used 2 cans of canned diced potatoes and a can of peas. It was delicious and very easy. Great way to use leftover ham. Worth a try. Thanks for posting!

    • 12 years ago

    A little less potato in this recipe but otherwise very good.

    • 12 years ago

    This recipe is easy and delicious! My family all loved it. It took me a little longer than the time stated, but I grated the cheese myself and probably cleaned up after each step. I may use less onion and add celery the next time.

    • 12 years ago

    Fabulous recipe to use up leftover ham! Son had two helpings and grandson and his friend proclaimed it awesome! Quick and easy recipe that’s definitely a keeper!

    • 12 years ago

    Awesome recipe! I substituted Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese soup for the sauce and it was so incredibly good!

    • 12 years ago

    I made this recipe with adding crushed red pepper as the only tweak. I found that 1/4 cup bread crumbs were quite generous. I added a picture.

    • 12 years ago

    This casserole took me about an hour to prepare, but it was worth it. I knew this was going to be a winner with my midwestern born husband and I was right. He said he was almost ready to faint with pleasure. Ha-ha! The only change I made was to cut up a piece of toast into 1/4 inch cubes as a topping instead of using canned bread crumbs. I wish it would have had a specific amount of salt to add, because I had to keep sprinkling in more, and I have no idea how much I ended up adding. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!!!

    • 12 years ago

    Use cheese – no cheese soup, no substitute – it needs it for flavor/taste. Good. Very similar to other ‘ham casserole’ recipes listed.

    • 12 years ago

    Very good!! Next time though I’d use more ham (maybe 3 cups). I also used a Tex mex mix of shredded cheese. This gave it more flavour I think. I also would use less bread crumbs on top. Some of it was still dry. Over all, a great way to use up leftover ham.

    • 12 years ago

    Made several changes that made this AWESOME!!! Used 1 can “Chedder Cheese Soup” & One can “Creamy Chicken-Mushroon Soup”…also added One can of Button Mushrooms (drained)omitted flour mixture! Also topped with Velveta Cheese…This is a good base recipe to put your own twist on!:)

    • 12 years ago

    Very tasty and an easy way to use up some leftovers. Win!

    • 12 years ago

    I had some ham leftover from Thanksgiving and I made this for dinner tonight. It was very good. Even my husband had seconds on this. I will be making this again when I have lefto over ham.

    • 12 years ago

    I used this as a base idea for my ham and potato casserole and added some extras. It turned out great! Thanks for sharing!

    • 12 years ago

    Wow! This was incredible! I used leftover mashed potatoes from Christmas. I had a houseful of testosterone men with hearty appetites and this filled the bill. I did add garlic and some season salt to the bottom mixture. Will definitely make again!

    • 12 years ago

    Very tasty. The only seasoning I used was salt and pepper, and was still very flavorful!

    • 12 years ago

    Awesome recipe! Instead of bread crumbs I use crushed ritz crackers. The family loves it!

    • 12 years ago

    My family loved it! nothing left in the Dish! Will be making this again. Thank you for sharing!

    • 11 years ago

    My husband loved this! Used leftover spiral ham from Christmas (the still-meaty bone is going in the soup pot). I didn’t have cheddar cheese, so I used a low-fat mozzarella and though probably more subtle than cheddar, it worked well. I also added a can of peas and used panko bread crumbs on top. (To be honest, I burned the top a little putting it under the broiler to brown the bread crumbs, but it just added to the flavor!)

    • 11 years ago

    This is too easy for how good it is. I didn’t add any salt to the white sauce because after I salted the potatoes and mixed it with the ham it had enough salt. Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing!

    • 11 years ago

    Added broccoli and used New York sharp cheddar and regular cheddar. Great for using up leftover ham. Also used crumbled ritz crackers on top. Will make again.

    • 11 years ago

    This a great recipe. The only change I made was adding ritz craker topping instead of bread crumbs. I love it, and my kids do too!

    • 11 years ago

    This was a nice easy way to use some of my frozen left over ham. I had everything on hand. My changes were that I added Paprika to the cheese sauce and a sleeve of Ritz cracker in place of the bread crumbs. I wish that I had coated the potato/ham mixture with the cheese sauce and I wish there had been a little acid bite somewhere–garlic or mustard maybe. All in all I’d do it again–Everybody ate without complaint and with seven kids that’s no small feat.

    • 11 years ago

    Good basic recipe with things usually on hand. Would definitely make again.

    • 11 years ago

    Amazing dish! Added in green beans (fresh or frozen) for something extra (let it cook a bit longer, until beans were soft). So good, will purchase ham just to make this. Family loves it

    • 11 years ago

    I used left over mashed potatoes and ham and it was great!!!

    • 11 years ago

    Perfect! I skipped the ham cooking step and just added already cooked ham. Didnt need bread crumbs. Mixed veges on side. Sooo good.

    • 11 years ago

    This is very good as published. The second time I made it, I added one teaspoon of dry mustard with the flour (in the white sauce), and half of a large bell pepper, cubed, with the ham and onions, sauteing until soft. I used corn flake crumbs the second time. I’ll make this again.

    • 11 years ago

    This was a great recipe, so heartfelt thanks for posting, SweetT! I doubled the recipe for a crowd and made these variations per reviews /for gluten free: substituted gluten free flour, and fat free half and half, crumbled gluten free bread slices (I didn’t even dry them). nom, nom…

    • 11 years ago

    Kids loved it, I loved it, only suggestion use a bigger baking dish. I used a 1 & 3/4 quart and it overflowed. I will be making it again. I may even try a little cayenne pepper or chili powder next time.

    • 11 years ago

    Absolutely amazing! I did everything just as the recipe called for, except for using 1 1/2 T of butter when sauting the ham and onions, and it turned out soooo yummy! My 3 kids, who normally don’t like potatoes because of the texture, ate this up and asked for seconds! The cheese sauce is to die for, and I look forward to using this cheese sauce in other recipes- I’m thinking Broccoli casserole? Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!

    • 11 years ago

    OMG!!! I tried this recipe for the first time and my family LOVED!! it. And went back for seconds!! and it’s kid friendly 🙂 the cheese was nice and gooey and the bread crumbs gave a nice cripy on top this one is a keeper!!

    • 11 years ago

    This was so good! Although the family didn’t gush over it, my husband told everyone they couldn’t have seconds because he was going to eat the rest. Of course, my 8-year-old had already taken seconds. I saw my husband go back three or four times for more, which is very rare for him. There was some leftover, but I am eating it now for lunch and it’s every bit as good as it was last night.

    I made some fresh broccoli to go with the meal, and it was a great accompaniment. The only change I made was substituting bell pepper for onion (didn’t have any onions at home).

    • 11 years ago

    I thought this dish was OK, but nothing special.
    I pretty much made it exactly as written, except that I bought “new” ham instead of using leftovers, and I shredded my own Cheddar from a large block. I should note that a 1.5-quart baking dish would not have sufficed for me. I only had a 2.5-quart dish, and it was nearly filled. (I think that maybe my “small” potatoes were larger than they should have been.) I thought the cheese sauce was nice, and I ate it all over several days, but it just wasn’t exciting, sorry.

    • 11 years ago

    Nice a little dry
    Would make more SAUSE next time

    • 11 years ago

    My family loved this!

    • 11 years ago

    Instead of using leftover ham, I purchased a 1 lb package of pre-diced ham. It worked great. I used boiled redskin potatoes and they were very moist and tender. This is yummy comfort food! But if you are afraid it will be too bland, add onion powder, garlic, or a sprinkle of dried mustard, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder, or a few drops of hot pepper sauce.

    • 11 years ago

    Absolutely loved this one, but instead of onion I used jalape?os and I left out the paprika and I used velveeta cheese. Very yummy.

    • 11 years ago

    This recipe was great and utilized a few things that would have gone bad if I didn’t use them soon (namely ham and potatoes). The only thing I did differently was add a bit more flavor for fear of my toddler not liking it. She definitely loves her spices. I added a bit of garlic powder and chili powder to the ham and onions as they were cooking. And I sprinkled on crushed rosemary before the bread crumbs. My whole house smells like rosemary potatoes (YUM!) and the taste is phenomenal. Definitely making this one again.

    • 11 years ago

    I liked this dish but there was not enough cheese in it for my family, so I added sharp, shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce and sprinkled cheese on top. Now my family loves this recipe

    • 11 years ago

    Hearty and quite tasty. A hit with the family. A few to many potatoes for me. I may add carrots and decrease the potato next time.

    • 11 years ago

    Our family thought this was awesome… Instead of doing the milk and flour we used cream of mushroom soup and 1/4 cup milk… ( we didn’t have the amt of milk needed so we improvised) excellent!!!

    • 11 years ago

    This recipe was comfort food personified. I used frozen chunky hash browns and added a bit of yellow mustard for flavor. Otherwise, I did it exactly as directed. The sauce cooked up smooth and creamy. This one goes into my recipe book.

    • 11 years ago

    The flavor was just OK. I will admit that I had to use pasta because I didn’t have enough potatoes on hand. Still I felt that the overall flavor was just OK.

    • 10 years ago

    I used a few more potatoes a little more flour and added some heavy cream to the milk mixture. Delicious!

    • 10 years ago

    Best We’ve had so far! I have been looking for a recipe that tastes similar to the Marie Callender’s Family size Scalloped Potatoes with Ham, this is it! I added in some personal taste like onion salt instead of regular salt, and we didn’t have any breadcrumbs, but everything else was verbatim. Big hit with the whole family, including 7 yr. old twins with different tastes in food. Thank you for a keeper of a recipe.

    • 10 years ago

    this was very good. i sprinkled a little rosemary in the white sauce, along with the ham and onions….just a little bit. also added a little onion and garlic powders to the sauce. my DS went back for seconds, and that barely ever happens! thanks for the post SweetT!

    • 10 years ago

    This is the best recipe that I’ve made in the last year and the left overs were so good for lunch. I used 2% velveeta for the cheese but otherwise followed the directions. Such perfect comfort food and I’ll be making this again soon. Doesn’t get much better than this!!

    • 10 years ago

    Family favorite!! Served with fresh rolls and steamed broccoli love this, i buy ham steaks if i dont have leftover ham just to make it, it goes such a long way too with 4 kids.

    • 10 years ago

    Yummy!

    • 10 years ago

    Awesome flavor and great way to reuse leftovers. Nothing like an original ham dinner.

    • 10 years ago

    This was very good! I followed the recipe exactly except I put a clove of minced garlic in with the onions and had some asparagus I added on top of the ham/potato mixture. Will make this again for sure!

    • 10 years ago

    I have made this recipe several times. We Love It!! The only change I made was using Onion Powder instead of Onions (we have an Onion hater in the house:) This is definitely a keeper!

    • 10 years ago

    This recipe is great! I cooked the potatoes in a skillet, rather than boil, added asparagus, onion & the ham once veggies were tender. Think next time I will add bacon. very delicious!!!

    • 10 years ago

    Wonderful! Didn’t change a thing.

    • 10 years ago

    Really good. Added a 4oz can of Hatch Green Chiles (hot) and it was wonderful.

    • 10 years ago

    I made a ham for just so I could make this after! My picky ones love it as much my hubby, Who had 3 helpings. I made as written the first time and it was great. Thus time I used crushed corn flakes on top which gave a slightly salty/sweet combo. I’ll keep the corn flakes next time. Love everything about this recipe.

    • 10 years ago

    Made this for dinner tonight and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. Made per recipe other than I used a bit more onion and put some grated cheese over the top ten minutes from the end. Highly recommend – you will not be disappointed.

    • 10 years ago

    I was looking for a simple ham & potato bake that wasn’t complicated or too fatty. This worked out well. I used half the butter, a little less cheese, and chives instead of onions. It turned out to be delicious! We made steamed green beans & carrots on the side to make a full meal.

    • 10 years ago

    Had all the appropriate leftovers, but the cheese. I used pepper jack! Woohoo! I added 2T minced garlic to the onion & ham mixture. I also added fresh parsley to the potatoes. So, so, so, so good!!

    • 10 years ago

    This was so yummy!! Very simple but extremely tasty! Both my husband and son liked it. I used golden potatoes, which I think made a better choice than regular Russets. I also used half-and-half instead of the milk. It’s what was on hand and it worked great! I have made this twice in the past few months and will continue to make it – it’s definitely a keeper!

    • 10 years ago

    yes I doubled the cheese topping , way better , but awesome for get togethers love it thank you

    • 10 years ago

    Yum! Very tasty. I changed things up a little based on another au gratin potato recipe I’ve made before. Used 4 T of flour and 2 C of milk to make a little more sauce. Used 2 C of shredded cheese and added salt, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne, and mustard to the sauce. Didn’t feel like cooking anything ahead of time so layered the potatoes, onion, and ham raw in the pan and poured the sauce over it. Covered with foil and baked at 375 for 90 minutes. Excellent! Worth all the peeling and chopping.

    • 10 years ago

    I made this for my wife for supper. She is a picky eater but she loved it! I will be making this one again.

    • 10 years ago

    This is a great dish, and all the other reviewers on this are spot on. I over cooked some potatoes, and ended up with a a quasi-mashed potato variation on this. My daughter and I loved it this way, but my wife thought it needed more potatoes – but she is a potato-holic. I will definitely be making this again in the future, and will be careful about overcooking next time. It will likely work best with the left-overs as suggested, instead of cooking them from start to finish.

    • 10 years ago

    we all love this recipe and have made it probably 20 times since finding it i have even gone to friends and families houses to make it for them it is a total hit with EVERYONE thanks for sharing this with us all 🙂

    • 10 years ago

    I made this with leftover ham and veges from thanksgiving dinner. My husband is an avid casserole hater and he went back for seconds. He said he really liked this! I added some celery, carrots, red and green peppers that were left over from our relish tray. I boiled the celery and carrots with the potato and saut?ed the peppers with the onion. A very tasty one dish meal! All I had for bread crumbs were Italian panko crumbs, but they added a nice flavor. Enough left over for lunch tomorrow. I will make this again.

    • 10 years ago

    So good that a serving was taken out before I could take the picture. 🙂 Very good, easy recipe. I topped mine off with some shredded cheese before adding the breadcrumbs. Would definitely make this again.

    • 10 years ago

    Hamsgiving. The leftovers that keep on giving. I omitted the bread crumbs, and this was still awesome. I used half and half that I had in the fridge in lieu of milk, and it just added to the creamy texture of the extra sharp cheese sauce. Per another reviewer, I still added salt to the sauce (against my better judgment), and it was perfect!

    • 10 years ago

    This is a hit. This is one of those great recipes that you can tweak according to your families tastes! I don’t wait for left overs, I buy a ham slice (thick cut) and cube. I follow the recipe until I get to the bread crumbs part, as the first time I made this, the bread crumbs didn’t get crunchy. So instead I added saltine crackers that I crumbled in my hands, over the top of it all, then added dollops of butter over the crushed crackers and baked accordingly. WOW, what a great buttery, crunchy addition this made. Necessary, no…but yummy, YES!
    P.S. This time I used a certain brand of packet cheese that is called Triple Cheddar and contains Vermont White Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar and Cream Cheese. Very creamy.

    • 10 years ago

    I added some extra Italian seasoning, used a little more cheese than what the recipe called for but other than that followed it word for word. It came out delicious!! My whole family loved it, it was super easy and fast to put together and make. It’s definitely now my go to recipe for leftover ham!

    • 10 years ago

    This was really good. I didn’t boil the potatoes, I just cubed them and fried them in a skillet with some oil, diced onions, diced peppers, some garlic and a splash or two of chicken broth. Of course, I added salt and pepper to taste. Once the potatoes started to soften I mixed in the cubed ham. When it was done I put it in the casserole dish and topped it with the cheese sauce and breadcrumbs and popped it in the oven. The only thing I would do differently next time is omit the breadcrumbs. I didn’t feel like they added anything to the dish and, in the 25 minutes the dish was in the oven, they didn’t really brown. So, it was like I just had raw breadcrumbs on top soaking up the cheese sauce. Other than that I will surely be making this again. It was a great use for leftover ham and very yummy!

    • 10 years ago

    Very good. I used frozen diced potatoes and it was quick and easy.

    • 10 years ago

    Added some green onions and used sharp cheddar for 1/2 of the cheese….delicious!

    • 9 years ago

    First time we made this the cheesy topping was too thick and the casserole contents were dry. Taste was still good and we put leftovers in tortillas with sour cream and hot sauce for breakfast burritos. The second time I made this with more cheese and more milk. ( I used mozzarella and Monterey Jack this time… My boyfriend doesn’t like cheddar, but these two cheeses are a bit creamier than cheddar anyway.)

    • 9 years ago

    Just made this for my people – and it was inhaled. I used sweet potato chunks as that is what I had for left overs and it still tasted pretty good! I am sure it would taste better with regular potatoes. Next time I think I might add in a little bit of corn just to add some crunch and colour.

    • 9 years ago

    made this it was an excellent simple cheese rue …. I threw in some cut Brussel sprouts that was left over too great recipe to cheese something up

    • 9 years ago

    I made some minor adjustments to the recipe but I think that’s the fun of cooking. I used slightly larger potatoes so I doubled the onion and cheese sauce. Next time I will use smaller potatoes and still double the sauce because we like cheese in this family. I also used a generous amount of garlic because you can never have too much garlic. I also added extra cheese in top because, like I said, this family loves cheese. 🙂

    • 9 years ago

    Converted it to 2 servings because there are just the two of us. Loved it.

    • 9 years ago

    This was awesome. Very cheesy, especially when made with sharp cheddar. As other suggested, I added some chopped celery, red pepper and carrots, plus some frozen peas to make it a full meal. Next time I will add more potato, though. Agree with another reviewer’s wife with that. LOL Made this with the leftover ham from Christmas that I had frozen.

    • 9 years ago

    Super Yum, definitely a keeper & going into regular rotation! This is a great standard recipe that is simple to prepare, versatile, and frugal. I used red potatoes and left the skin on, I grated a block of swiss I had instead of cheddar, and I incorporated some baby carrots I had by slicing them into coins and parboiling them at the same time as the potatoes. Otherwise, I prepared as written. My whole family cleared their plates and I got a third meal out of a 10 pound ham (traditional ham dinner, this casserole, and froze the ham bone with remaining ham for a pea soup next week). This is a very tasty meal that will stretch my food budget a little farther, thanks for sharing!

    • 9 years ago

    This was so amazingly delicious, I didn’t want to stop eating. It was a huge hit with my 10 year old as well!

    • 9 years ago

    We liked this as written. Four stars. We liked it more after whisking in a pinch of cayenne and a dollop of Dijon to the sauce before pouring over ham & potatoes.

    I also omitted the first 3 tablespoons of butter and used 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.

    • 9 years ago

    Delicious. Added photo. Had to use a substitute for bread crumbs. Found “bottom of the bag kettle chips and crushed some pretzels. 15 year old 6’3 wrestler son loved it. 😉

    • 9 years ago

    We fixed this last night and it was wonderful!! The only problem is I kept wanting to eat!!!! Instead of the bread on top we put more grated cheese. We made this Gluten Free! Very delicious!!

    • 9 years ago

    Fast and easy and a very good way of using up some of my leftover ham. Very cheesy too.

    • 9 years ago

    I’m always looking for different ways to use leftover turkey and ham. This casserole was basic and easy to make yet very good. Comfort food for a cold winter day!

    • 9 years ago

    Quite good. Will be.making this again. My 9 year old had 3 helpings!

    • 9 years ago

    I’ve made this several times now, using leftover Christmas or Easter ham, and it’s always a hit even with the kids. It’s great as written, but easy to change seasonings or types of cheese to suit your taste. I personally like to add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. I like to bulk up the sauce a little to make sure the casserole isn’t dry or bland.

    • 9 years ago

    Wonderful! My husband and sons said they liked it, but they always say that. (They are good boys!) I knew it was a winner when they all got up for seconds! I used new potatoes and just microwaved them whole for 10 min, then diced them. Served with steamed mixed veggies and garlic-sauteed spinach.

    I didn’t have an onion. So I used some onion powder and skipped the butter/onion/ham in the skillet part. The cheese sauce turned out perfectly. The entire dish was yummy (might need more seasoning for those who like a more seasoned dish) and went great with a side of peas and carrots on a rainy day. I’ll probably make this again.

    Very, very good. Easy too. I had some half and half and some heavy whipping cream to use up so I used those in place of the milk. Added a little onion powder because my onion was VERY small and I love onion. Also instead of the plain bread crumbs I added a little bit of the Italian bread crumbs, which didn’t make a huge difference, as it would be excellent either way. I will be making this again at Thanksgiving! Yummy. Kid friendly too! 🙂
