My Favorite Crock Pot Ham and Scalloped Potatoes πŸ₯”πŸ₯“

Description:

When you’re cooking for a large group, having a recipe that can simmer away in the background while you tend to other tasks is a lifesaver. This crock pot recipe for ham and scalloped potatoes is a go-to for such occasions. With a creamy sauce, tender potatoes, and savory ham, it’s a dish that’s sure to satisfy even the heartiest appetites. Plus, with a little tweak to the sauce, incorporating sour cream, cream of celery soup, and shredded cheddar cheese, you’ll take the flavors to a whole new level. It’s a hit with my hungry Free-Mason men whom I cook for once a month, and I’m sure it’ll become a staple in your kitchen too!

Recipe Instructions:

    • In a saucepan, prepare the sauce by mixing together flour, salt, and white pepper.
    • Gradually whisk in the milk until no lumps remain.
    • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a gentle boil.
  4. Assembly:

    • Pour half of the prepared sauce over the layered potatoes and onions in the slow cooker.
    • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce.
    • Arrange slices of smoked ham on top of the cheese.
    • Pour the remaining sauce over the ham.
  5. Cooking:

    • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 9 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
  6. Serving:

    • Once cooked, serve the ham and scalloped potatoes hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy this hearty and comforting dish with your family and friends, whether it’s for a special occasion or just a cozy weeknight meal. It’s sure to become a favorite in your household! 🍽️πŸ₯‚
