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 or just buy some diced ham from the grocery store.

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.

Ingredient Notes:

  • Frozen Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes: You can use southern style as well.
  • Frozen Minced Onions: If you use a fresh onion, make sure you finely mince it.
  • 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!

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.

Cover with plastic wrap then foil and freeze up to 3 months.

Tips for a great casserole:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. I can’t believe how great this site is. You keep up the good work. That’s my advice pal.

  3. Our LGV (Large Goods Vehicle) HGV training is based in East London, and our LGV/ HGV courses are taught by qualified DVSA LGV & HGV trainers. LGV was formerly known as HGV, where it used to be referred to as HGV Class 2 (now called LGV Category C) and HGV class 1 (Now called LGV Category C+E).

  4. 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?

  5. 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.

  6. I have noticed you don’t monetize your page, don’t waste your traffic, you can earn extra cash every month because you’ve got high quality content.
