Description

This ham casserole has tender chunks of potatoes and leftover holiday ham baked in a velvety cream sauce with corn for a hearty, comforting dinner.

Ingredients

2 cups potatoes, cubed
2 cups cooked ham, cubed
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon chopped onions
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces processed cheese food, shredded

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 11x7-inch baking dish.
2 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
3 Combine potatoes, ham, corn, and parsley in a large bowl; set aside.
4 Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté onions in hot butter for 2 minutes, then stir in flour until blended. Pour in milk slowly, stirring constantly; season with pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
5 Pour over ham mixture; stir until combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
6 Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Uncover the dish and sprinkle with cheese. Continue baking until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes more.
7 Enjoy!
