I'm a busy working mom, and I'm always looking for easy, delicious recipes that my family will love. This Mashed Potato and Ham Casserole is one of my favorites because it's so simple to make, and it's always a hit with my husband and kids.
The casserole is made with instant mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, and tender chunky ham. I usually use leftover ham from a holiday meal, but you can also use canned ham. The casserole is baked in the oven until it's hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and gooey. I like to serve the casserole with a side of green beans or corn.
This casserole is a great way to use up leftover ham, and it's also a perfect dish for a potluck or a family gathering. It's easy to make, it's delicious, and it's sure to please everyone at the table.
Step-by-step
- Make the instant mashed potatoes, adding the 2 generous cups of boiling water, according to package instructions.
- Add in 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup chopped green onion tops, and 5 oz. of tender chunk ham, cut into chunks.
- Add in any ham broth that may be in the can.
- Mix thoroughly, and then pour into a medium oven-proof baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
- Serve while hot.
