1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the cooked ham. Finely chop the onion.
Layer the Ingredients:
In the crockpot, layer half of the potatoes, followed by half of the diced ham, and half of the chopped onion. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, ham, and onion.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Casserole:
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the layered potatoes, ham, and onions in the crockpot. Ensure everything is coated with the sauce.
Cook:
Cover the crockpot and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Add Cheese:
About 34 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
Serve:
Once the casserole is fully cooked and the cheese is melted, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Optional Add-ins:
Green beans or peas for added veggies.
A bit of paprika or cayenne pepper for a little kick.
