Crockpot Ham and Potato Casserole

Crockpot Ham and Potato Casserole

This Crockpot Ham and Potato Casserole is a hearty, cheesy dish filled with tender potatoes, savory ham, and a creamy sauce. Perfect for family dinners, this easy-to-make meal is slow-cooked to perfection.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet work best)
  • 2 cups diced ham (leftover ham works like a charm)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering your diced potatoes, ham, and finely chopped onions. In a large mixing bowl, toss them together. The combination of hearty potatoes and salty ham sets the foundation for this casserole.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. This creamy sauce will coat the ham and potatoes, making the dish rich and flavorful. Be sure to stir it until everything is well blended.
  3. Assemble the Casserole: Now it’s time to assemble your casserole! Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. This helps to prevent the ingredients from sticking. Add half of the potato and ham mixture to the bottom of the crockpot. Then, pour half of the sauce over the potatoes and ham, making sure everything is well coated. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
  4. Cook: Cover your crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours, or if you’re short on time, cook on high for 3-4 hours. You’ll know the casserole is ready when the potatoes are tender, and the whole dish is bubbly and hot.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once it’s done cooking, give the casserole a gentle stir before serving. For an added touch of freshness, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve it warm, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness with family and friends!

Notes

  • Potato Type: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes work best for this recipe because they hold up well during the long cooking process. Avoid waxy potatoes, as they can get too soft.
  • Ham Substitute: If you don’t have leftover ham, smoked sausage or bacon are great alternatives. They’ll give the dish a slightly different flavor, but still delicious!
  • Cheese Options: Feel free to swap the cheddar cheese with other types like Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a bit of heat.
  • Vegetables: Want to sneak in more veggies? Add diced carrots or peas into the mix for extra color and nutrients.
