We made the Kicked Up creamy version of this recipe and that is just exactly what it was. We like that this is cooked in the Crock Pot... makes for a very easy meal. Great if you have leftover holiday ham. The cheese sauce is just enough... it's so good!

Ingredients

10 medium Idaho potatoes; peeled
8 oz pkg diced ham, or cut your own
1/2 c chopped onion (I use frozen-no more tears!!)
1 can(s) Campbell's cheddar cheese soup
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup, light
1 /2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp dry mustard and white pepper
KICKED UP CREAMY VERSION
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
4 Tbsp flour
1 can(s) fat free evaporated milk
1-1 1/2 c shredded swiss cheese
paprika, just a sprinkle

Steps:

1. Regular version: In a large bowl mix the two soups and feel free to add a tiny splash of milk, then add the onion, hams and seasonings. Slice the potatoes in half and then into slices; add to soup and mix well. Put into the crock pot, and add a sprinkle of paprika. Cook on high 4 hours or low 7-8 hours. Sprinkle the cheddar on top during last 10 min.
2. Kicked Up version: Place peeled potatoes in a bowl of water. Melt the butter over med-high heat, cook and stir a few mins. Then whisk in the flour and stir. Add 1 cup of the evaporated milk and stir over med-high heat until bubbly and thickened; you may need the whole can.
3. Stir in the cheddar soup, Swiss and cheddar cheese and seasonings, stir till melted and creamy. (You will not use the mushroom soup in this version :)
4. Slice potatoes in half and then into slices. Place in a large bowl, along with onions and ham; mix well. Place in crock pot and cook the same as regular version. Let stand 10 min prior to serving.
5. Some people like to layer the ingredients, instead of mixing in a bowl. I like it all mixed so the flavors marry. Use your preference!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup half-and-half
½ cup whole milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 ½ cups chopped hickory smoked ham
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onion and whisk together. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in half-and-half and milk; whisk until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from heat; season sauce with salt and pepper. Add garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and paprika.
Place half the sliced potatoes into the baking dish; top with half the chopped ham. Sprinkle half the Cheddar cheese and half the Monterey Jack cheese on top. Pour in half the sauce from the skillet. Repeat layering the remaining potatoes, ham, cheeses, and sauce, ending with a layer of cheese and sauce. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cheese on top is golden and sauce is bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes more.

Tips:

Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
Layer the potatoes and ham evenly. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
Bake the dish until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from running out.

Conclusion:

Cheesy scalloped potatoes and ham is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your scalloped potatoes and ham turn out perfect every time.
