Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups thinly sliced cooked ham
- 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with half of the thinly sliced potatoes, slightly overlapping them.
Top the potato layer with half of the diced green bell pepper, onion, thawed peas, and cooked ham.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the first layer.
Pour half of the soup and milk mixture evenly across the layer. Add a light sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, green bell pepper, onion, peas, ham, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Pour the rest of the soup and milk mixture evenly over the second layer. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the hearty, flavorful layers of this classic ham casserole!
