Ham and Potato Casserole
Linda Sisson
2 cups Ham, diced
6-8 medium Potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
3 T Butter
3 T Flour
2 1/2 cups Milk
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter in a saucepan until bubbly (do not let it burn!). Add flour, stirring to make a paste. Add the milk and whisk until paste is completely mixed in and there are no lumps.
Add salt, pepper and onion powder to sauce. Simmer until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Lay potato slices in a casserole dish. Sprinkle diced ham between potato layers. Pour cream sauce over potatoes and ham.
Bake, covered for about 30 minutes; then uncovered for another 30-45 minutes until potatoes are tender and most of sauce has been absorbed by the potatoes. About 15 minutes before end of cooking time, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over top of casserole.
