crock pot cheesy scalloped potatoes and ham

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!

How To Make crock pot cheesy scalloped potatoes and ham

Test Kitchen Tips
We forgot to add the onions to the large mixing bowl, so we mixed them in when the ingredients were added to the slow cooker.
  • All ingredients, except shredded cheese, in a bowl.
    1
    Regular version: In a large bowl mix the two soups. Feel free to add a bit of milk to slightly thin them out. Then add the onion, ham, and seasonings. Slice the potatoes in half and then into slices. Add to soup and mix well.
  • Ingredients added to the Crock Pot.
    2
    Put it into the Crock Pot. Add a sprinkle of paprika.
  • Potatoes set to cook.
    3
    Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
  • Sprinkling cheese on for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
    4
    Sprinkle the cheddar on top during the last 10 min.
  • Creamy texture of the Crock Pot Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes and Ham.
    5
    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!

    Kicked Up Version: Melt the butter over medium heat, cook, and stir for a few minutes. Then whisk in the flour and stir. Add 1 cup of the evaporated milk and stir over med-high heat until bubbly and thickened; you may need the whole can. Stir in the cheddar soup, Swiss and cheddar cheese, and seasonings. Stir until melted and creamy. (You will not use the mushroom soup in this version.) Slice potatoes in half and then into slices. Place in a large bowl, along with onions and ham; mix well. Place in the Crock Pot and cook the same as the regular version. Let stand 10 min before serving.
