My cheesy Ham and Potatoes Casserole is an easy dinner recipe that is perfect for using leftover ham, complete with creamy bechamel sauce and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 pounds cubed potatoes (potatoes of your choice - I recommend yukon gold)
  • 2 cups diced ham (you can use leftover ham for this recipe)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups bechamel sauce (see below for measurements)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper ( to taste)
  • 6 Tablespoons flour
  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • 6 cups milk

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt butter over medium heat. Once butter melts, sprinkle flour over the butter and cook for 3-5 minutes until a paste forms. Don't let it brown - see How to Make a Roux for an in-depth guide.

  2. 2

    Coat a 2-quart baking dish with vegetable spray. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare your bechamel sauce as instructed above. See Bechamel Sauce Recipe for more info.
