Ham and Cheese Potatoes

My Ham and Cheese Potatoes casserole is a great way to use leftover ham.

Since there is only two of us in our household, I am always trying to find new ways to use ham. Unfortunately, there is usually so much leftover. And who doesn’t like cheese? What’s great about this recipe is that the sauce is thick enough to coat the potatoes and stay there. When the weather gets too hot to go outside, stay indoors and cook. This is comfort food at its best. This is a great accompaniment to your favorite meatloaf recipe, and I plan to post one very soon. In conclusion, you will want to serve my Ham and Cheese Potatoes soon. To serve alongside this dish, try my Ultimate Spaghetti Squash.  The selection of squash should be fabulous this time of year.
