 Slow Cooker Cheesy Ham & Potato Casserole

Ingredients

• 4–5 cups potatoes, thinly sliced (Yukon Gold or russet)

• 2 cups cooked ham, diced

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra melt)

• 1 can (300 g / 10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or chicken soup

• ½ cup sour cream

• ½ cup milk

• 2 tbsp butter, melted

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp black pepper

• Salt to taste

• Optional: ½ tsp paprika or dried thyme

 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Sauce

In a bowl, mix:

• Cream soup

• Sour cream

• Milk

• Melted butter

• Garlic powder

• Pepper

Stir until smooth.

2️⃣ Layer

Lightly grease your slow cooker.

Layer in this order:

1. Potatoes

2. Ham

3. Onion

4. A handful of cheese

5. Spoon some sauce

Repeat layers until everything is used, finishing with cheese on top.

3️⃣ Cook

• Low: 6–7 hours

• High: 3–4 hours

Potatoes should be fork-tender.

4️⃣ Optional Golden Top

For a browned cheesy top, transfer to an oven-safe dish and broil 3–5 minutes.

 Tips for Best Results

• Slice potatoes evenly (thin = better cooking).

• Don’t add too much extra liquid — potatoes release moisture.

• For thicker sauce, let it sit uncovered 10–15 minutes before serving.
