My Favorite Crock Pot Ham and Scalloped Potatoes π₯π₯
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!
