I grew up loving scalloped potatoes and ham. I have a basic version similar to what Mom made. I have also included my kicked up creamier version which uses evaporated milk. The evaporated milk gives it a sweeter taste that goes well with the ham.

We made the Kicked Up creamy version of this recipe and that is just exactly what it was. We like that this is cooked in the Crock Pot... makes for a very easy meal. Great if you have leftover holiday ham. The cheese sauce is just enough... it's so good!

Slice the potatoes in half and then into slices; add to soup and mix well. Put into the crock pot, and add a sprinkle of paprika. Cook on high 4 hours or low 7-8 hours.

    Some people like to layer the ingredients, instead of mixing in a bowl. I like it all mixed so the flavors marry. Use your preference!
