Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes & Ham

The original recipe is made as a side dish.  I double the recipe and use it as a main dish for our family.  It’s delicious, filling and our entire family liked it!  The recipe below is the original recipe.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and sliced into rounds, divided
• 1/3 cup chopped onion (I used around 1/4 c. the first time I made this because my family doesn’t like to taste onion in our recipes)
• 3 teaspoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 1 cup cooked and diced ham
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut into tiny pieces
• 1 2/3 cups whole milk
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

1. Grease your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray
2. Place half of the potatoes into the greased crock pot
3. Sprinkle with onion, 1 1/2 teaspoon flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/16 of pepper
4. Add the rest of the potatoes to the slow cooker.  Top potatoes with ham
5. Sprinkle with the remaining flour, salt, and pepper.  Then dot with the butter
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and cornstarch.  Pour the mixture down the side of the slow cooker so you don’t disturb the flour and seasonings
7. Cover and cook on the low setting for 4-5 hours.  Potatoes should be fork-tender.
8. Sprinkle the cheese on top
9. Cook on the high setting for 15-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are tender.  Serve
