Ingredients and Variations
Potatoes – Frozen hashbrowns are an easy base for this dish, but leftover diced potatoes, sliced potatoes, or even a layer of mashed potatoes will work. Try cauliflower rice for a lower-carb dish as well!
Meat – Leftover holiday ham is perfect in this recipe as are bacon pieces, precooked breakfast sausages, and sliced summer sausage.
Veggies – Any veggies will do! Use leftovers or a frozen medley.
Sauce – Ready-made Alfredo sauce and freshly shredded cheddar cheese provide a rich and creamy sauce for this casserole, but a handful of blue cheese or feta crumbles can also be tossed in for a more cheesy flavor. Or make it from scratch!
Variations – No Alfredo sauce? No problem! Use an equal portion of heavy whipping cream or a can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup. Add 6 whisked eggs and blend in at Step 2 to make a heartier, fluffier egg-based casserole.
How to Make Ham and Potato Casserole
- Combine all ingredients (except cheese) in a large bowl.
- Pour mixture into a prepared casserole dish and top with shredded cheddar.
- Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly on top. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or more shredded cheese.
Tips for Success!
- For best results, let the casserole rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
- Prep ham and potato casserole the night before and keep it covered and chilled until ready to bake.
- Freeze the prepared casserole in a parchment paper-lined casserole dish and then remove the frozen casserole so the dish can be used for another purpose. Wrap the casserole in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Place the frozen casserole back in the casserole dish and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking in Step 4.
- Serve ham and potato casserole on its own or with a tasty tomato salad or a fresh strawberry salad. The options are endless with this versatile dish.
Leftover Ham and Potato Casserole Ideas
Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container for up to 4 days. Freeze casserole wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil, or store individual portions in small containers, for up to 6 weeks.
Thaw casserole overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat casserole, covered with foil, in the oven until heated through. Reheat single portions in the microwave or even in a skillet on the stovetop!
