This cheesy Ham and Potato Casserole brings yukon gold potatoes, smoked ham, and sweet peas together in a creamy provolone cheese sauce all topped with a buttery cracker crumb topping. The end result is a delectable casserole that the whole family enjoys. I usually purchase a ham steak for this recipe but it is also perfect for leftover holiday ham. This is a hearty meal all by itself but sometimes I like to serve it with Cheddar Biscuits or Beer Bread. With less than 20 minutes prep time this easy casserole is doable on those busy weeknights.

How To Make ham and potato casserole

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Sprinkle in the flour and continue cooking for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Slowly add the chicken broth and milk whisking till it is smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Step 4
    Lower the heat and slowly add the shredded cheeses; whisking until melted and smooth. Whisk in the pepper. Pour the cheese sauce over the ham and potatoes stirring to coat.
  • Step 5
    In a large storage bag combine the Ritz crackers, melted butter and fresh thyme. Shake to coat. Sprinkle over the potatoes and ham. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the casserole is heated through and the potatoes are tender.
