Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 medium medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend of your choice)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • splash water (optional, if needed while cooking)
  • Butter or cooking spray for greasing the slow cooker

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease the inside of your slow cooker lightly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Place a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Add a layer of diced ham, chopped onion, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of grated cheese.
  4. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
  5. Pour the undiluted cream of mushroom soup evenly over the layers. Use a spatula or spoon to gently spread it so everything is well-coated.
  6. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the mixture is bubbly.
  7. Around the 4-hour mark, check to ensure it’s not too dry—if needed, add a small splash of water or milk.
  8. Spoon into bowls while warm, making sure to scoop from the bottom to get all that cheesy, creamy goodness.

Notes

For best results, try Swiss, Monterey Jack, or a sharp cheddar blend for extra flavor. Mix in frozen peas, green beans, or corn for a colorful touch. Stir in ¼ cup of sour cream or heavy cream at the end before serving for creaminess. For a crispy finish, sprinkle extra cheese on top and broil for a few minutes in an oven-safe dish before serving.
