Easy Cheesy Ham and Potato Casserole Recipe

Introduction

Few dishes are as universally satisfying as a heaping scoop of Easy Cheesy Ham and Potato Casserole. It’s creamy, it’s savory, and thanks to the irresistible blend of ham, cheese, and tender potatoes, every bite delivers classic comfort food flavor. Whether you’re feeding a family on a busy weeknight or bringing something crowd-pleasing to a potluck, this one-pan meal is always a hit—plus, it’s a perfect way to use up leftover ham.

Why This Casserole Stands Out

This casserole wins over crowds with its creamy, cheesy sauce, hearty potatoes, and pops of smoky ham. Each layer bakes together to golden perfection, creating a homey, rich dish with minimal fuss. It’s not just about flavor—this recipe is effortless to assemble and reheats beautifully, making it a top contender for both meal prep and casual entertaining.

Prepping Your Ingredients With Ease

Uniformly diced potatoes and onions are key for even cooking. To save time and get perfect, evenly chopped veggies, try the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—it turns prep work from chore to breeze. For slicing ham, a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Board provides a solid, attractive workspace and helps keep your counters nick-free.

Building the Creamy Base

The heart of this casserole is its luscious, cheesy sauce. Proper blending ensures a smooth consistency—consider using the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender to quickly combine your dairy and broth before pouring it over the casserole for a perfectly creamy result every time.

Baking and Serving Made Simple

Once layered and topped with extra cheese, bake until bubbling and golden. For no-stress cleanup and easy casserole release, line your baking dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. When ready, serve directly from the oven—or transport to potlucks and gatherings—this recipe is just as delicious at room temperature.
