Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes and Ham: An Easy Comfort Food Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups peeled and sliced potatoes
• 2 cups diced ham
• 0.5 onion, chopped
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.13 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.13 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 pound Cheddar cheese, diced
• 1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients for the scalloped potatoes and ham.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Layer half of the potatoes, half of the ham, and half of the onions in a 2-quart baking dish; repeat the layers to create a delicious casserole.
4. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the milk, peas, flour, butter, parsley, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes.
5. Stir in the Cheddar cheese until it's fully melted into the sauce.
6. Pour the cheese sauce over the potato and ham mixture, then sprinkle with paprika. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender, approximately 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is lightly browned, about 15 minutes more.
