Hearty Ham Casserole

A few weeks ago we had ham for Sunday dinner. I came across a recipe I decided to try to use up the leftover ham. It turned out delicious! It is a great comfort food. I one and a half times it for my family of six.

2 Cups Potatoes, Cooked and Cubed
2 Cups Ham, Cooked & Cubed
15 Ounce Can Whole Kernel Corn, Drained
1/4 Cup Butter
1 Tablespoon Green Onions, Chopped

Sauce:
1/3 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 3/4 Cups Milk
1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper
4 Oz. Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

Boil your potatoes until they are ALMOST done, they still have to cook in the oven for a while longer. Drain off the water, add in the ham, corn, butter and green onions. Mix well.

In a small pot, add the milk and cook over medium heat until it just starts to boil. Add in the flour and the remaining sauce ingredients and stir until thickened.

Pour the potato mixture into an oven proof dish. Pour the milk mixture over. Sprinkle with some more cheddar cheese and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes of until potatoes are done. Remove foil and bake a few more minutes until cheese is completely melted.
