This recipe is close to my all-time favorite Cheesy Potato Casserole, but I added some ham and called it dinner.
So yes, this Cheesy Ham and Potato Casserole was so simple to make and tastes AMAZING! It's the perfect recipe for your leftover ham.
This can easily be served as a side dish or make some sides and serve it as the main course.
How to make Cheesy Ham and Potato Casserole:
A Ham Potato Casserole in my opinion is one of the best dinners to make. Start by mixing all your ingredients together in a large bowl.
I start by mixing the potatoes and onions first, then I add everything else.
Once everything is mixed and coated well add to your casserole dish. Top with more cheese and then bake.
Ingredients:
- Frozen Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes: You can use southern style as well.
- Frozen Minced Onions
- Sour Cream
- Cream of Chicken Soup
- Butter: I used unsalted butter and then melted it.
- Salt
- Cheese: Shredded cheddar cheese.
- Ham: That has been cooked and diced. This is the perfect recipe for leftover ham!
Directions:
Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
Step two: Next place frozen hash browns and minced onions a large mixing bowl and mix until combined.
Step three: Next add your sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, salt, ham and 2 cups shredded cheese. Then mix well.
Step four: Place your mixed ingredients into a 9X13 casserole dish and top with ½ cup remaining shredded cheese.
Step five: Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
Make Ahead Instructions:
Refrigerating Instructions: To save you some time on a busy cooking day try mixing this the day before.
Prepare everything but instead of baking top your casserole with foil and place it in the refrigerated for up to two days.
Remove from the fridge and remove foil and bake according to directions.
Freezing Instructions:
Mix your casserole according to directions in a freezer-safe casserole dish.
Cover with plastic wrap then foil and freeze up to 3 months.
Tips for a great casserole:
- Use the right casserole dish: The casserole dish you choose will have a big impact on how your casserole cooks. A shallow casserole dish will result in a crispier or crunchier top. A deep dish will result in a creamier or in this case cheesier casserole.
- When using frozen ingredients do not allow them to thaw too much in preparation. Thawing too much before hand could make your casserole soupy. Yes, using frozen potatoes will release more water or liquid into the casserole, but the cook time should offset that.
- Allow your casserole to set before serving. Plan to allow your casserole to set for about 15 minutes for serving. This will allow any liquid to set and cool down.

So I added frozen peas and and diced potatoes raw. Let’s see how it turns out. 😊
Just made this for dinner tonight. Made a little more than double double froze half of it as I'm getting ready to have my 4th baby. So thankful for meals that can be frozen.
Yah! So glad you like it!
I have made this once and even my picky eaters loved it !
Do you think this could be made ahead and frozen and then baked when ready to eat?
So happy to hear that. Yes, this would be great to freeze. I would just mix up all the ingredients and place it in a dish and freeze. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight then bake!
This was amazing!
Thanks!
Can see the butter just sitting at the top of the dish- cooked it for almost an hour. Not so impressed with this!
The Butter should be melted and mixed in before cooking.
This is a good recipe that is fun to change things up with. I usually use southern seasoned hash browns and I definitely use less butter or omit it completely.
It was so creamy and cheesey. I added peas and carrots and 2 cans of creamed soup mushroom and chicken Cream soups. I also added some of my favorite spices as well. It was delicious.
Do you think that the diced hash browns with the onion already in them would work instead of the shredded?
Yes I think that would work!
This recipe looks great! I am looking forward to trying it! I’m just going to add pepper & garlic powder... also the person who said it was soupy probably added water to the cream of chicken soup not realizing that in recipes like this they literally mean just the contents of the cream of chicken can 😆
Hope you enjoy it!! And yes no water just the soup!
This recipe turned out really soupy for me. You could probably cut the butter in half and use less sour cream.
We don't find it soupy at all but I'm sorry that happened to you.
I really can't believe how great this site is. Keep up the good work. I'm going to tell all my friends about this place.

I can't believe how great this site is. You keep up the good work. That's my advice pal.
This is really good!
This is a great meal, that is super easy to make!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Good post. I find out one thing a lot more difficult on distinctive blogs everyday. It is going to normally be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice just a little something from their shop. I’d prefer to utilize some using the content on my blog whether or not you do not thoughts. Natually I’ll give you a link in your internet blog.
