Instant Mashed Potato, Ham and Cheese Casserole image

Oh my gosh, this is the cheapest, quickest and tastiest main dish ever. We have this at least once a week. I like to brown my ham in butter before adding to casserole. It just makes the ham a little crisp. You will not be disappointed.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This casserole was a disaster! The potatoes were undercooked and the cheese was rubbery. I had to throw the whole thing out.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked the potatoes.

This casserole was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used leftover mashed potatoes and ham, and it was a perfect way to use them up. The cheese added a nice gooey texture.
