This slow cooker ham and potato casserole is comfort food at its finest—easy to prepare, packed with flavor, and perfect for chilly nights when you want dinner to practically make itself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium-sized russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup whole milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds (about 1/8-inch thick).
  2. Grease the bottom of your slow cooker with butter or cooking spray. Layer half the potatoes evenly, followed by half the ham, half the onion, and half the cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth, and pour the mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker.
  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the casserole to taste.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
  6. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

[‘Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure they cook through properly.’, ‘Layering the ingredients ensures every bite has a bit of ham, potato, and cheese.’, ‘Potatoes should be fork-tender before serving. If they’re still firm, give the casserole an extra 30 minutes.’, ‘Try mixing in other cheeses like mozzarella or Gruyère for a unique flavor twist.’, ‘If your casserole looks too thick towards the end, you can stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up. Alternatively, if it’s too thin, leave the lid slightly ajar for the last 30 minutes to help it thicken.’]
