My family was not excited about this recipe but once they tasted it they really liked it. I will use this one again.

I used macaroni instead of potatoes and mixed cheddar cheese into the white sauce instead of Velveeta.I also added garlic to the onions sauted in butter.I put crushed up potato chips on the top. It was good but not great.

I sauted the potatoes in half of the butter and seasoned them with a pinch of salt and some pepper. I also mixed the parsley with the onions in the sauce pan, prior to adding milk and flower. I forgot to add the corn but it was still very good. I used freshly shredded extra sharp white cheddar for the toping rather than processed cheese and it was very tasty.

I pan fried the potatoes with the onions instead of boiling on the stove top. I mixed the milk together with the flour in a tupperware shaker/mixer container then added to the potato/onion mixture. In the casserole dish I placed the rest of the ingredients.I used the mexicorn mixture to give it color. I used velveta cheese in the casserole and hot pepperjack (4oz)on top. It was not spicy and Grandma/ 2 kids / Husband all loved it!

I made some revisions because I didn't have any processed cheese. I cooked about 5 strips of bacon and then sauteed the onions and potatoes in the pan. I removed the vegetables and made the sauce in the skillet. Then I added about a cup of shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack mixed. I mixed the potatoes,ham, onions and 3 strips of back crumbled, poured the sauce over and topped with about 3/4 cup of cheese and the remaining crumbled bacon. It was yummy!

This is really good with a couple small changes as suggested by other users. I upped the onions to about 1/3 cup...there is no way 1 tablespoon can contribute much flavor to a whole casserole. Also added 1 t season-all, along with 1/2 cup melted velveeta. I found it was sufficiently salty after this so I ommited the shredded cheese on top. The only thing I would change next time is perhaps less flour or more milk, because the gravy was pretty thick. Great way to use up leftover ham - it's some serious comfort food...cheesy, meaty, potato-y.

Everyone loved it. Didn't use process cheese and I fried the potatoes before adding with a little garlic. Also added hot sauce to the cheese sauce.

This was okay. I would only make it again if I had leftover ham. I followed the recipe, except I didn't have onions so I used a 2 tsp. of onion powder. One wasn't enough. After I made the casserole it was kinda bland so I added garlic salt to it. This dish reminded me of potato soup... kinda tasted similar to it.

We liked it a lot for our dinner, however it just seemed to missing something. Next time I might substitute corn for another vegetable.

I was pleasantly surprised at how this came out. When I tasted the gravy prior to baking I was very uneasy because it seemed extremely bland. I omitted the onions, used whole wheat flour and reduced fat margarine and I did double the amount of pepper and add garlic powder to the gravy. I used a can of whole new potatoes, which I diced up and that saved about 15 minutes and tasted just fine. I added about a 1/3 of a cup of shredded cheddar and monterrey jack to the mixture, then topped with about a 1/2 cup and also a sprinkling of seasoned bread crumbs. Good, simple comfort food. Thanks!

Five stars for comfort food. Its creamy and cheesy and not good for you! But it does taste suprisingly good. And I will make it again. There were no leftovers. I don't usually like this sort of thing, mixing food that doesn't seem to go together (corn, ham, cheese, potatoes) but everything meshed well. My advice is give it a try.

I thought this was really good comfort food. The additions I made were to add a little minced garlic and allspice to the sauce mixture and I changed the shapes of the ham and potatoes for a differnt texture. I sliced the potatoes thin and cut the ham into longish strips (thicker than julienned). Hubby and I both enjoyed and my 11-month old was able to eat parts of it. I will definitally make again.

I only used this recipe as a basic guideline. After reading several reviews of how it turned out like soup I decided to not boil the potatoes. I chopped a whole onion in the food processor and sautéed it olive oil until translucent. I then added 4 potatoes that I scrubbed and left the skin on and cut into ¼” cubes to the pan with the onions and then added a bit of fresh crushed garlic. I browned the potatoes on the stove and covered them, I did not want them to get too done as they were still going to be baked. I then cut the ham into little pieces. I had leftover spiral ham so that was easy enough. Because I had about 4 cups of potatoes and 4 cups of ham I used 2 cups of milk and 16oz of Velveeta in the saucepan on the stove while the potatoes were cooking. While the mike and “cheese” were melting I added Hungarian paprika, garlic powder, onion powder & ground mustard to the “cheese” milk mixture. Once this was done I took the potatoes off the heat and put into a huge bowl and added the ham and I decided to add a bit of real cheese so I diced a bit of real sharp cheddar into the bowl and tossed everything together with a spatula. I then sprayed the 11”x7’’ pan and put in the mixture and then poured the “cheese” sauce on top and put into the oven. Now this was still way soupy. I used double the ingredients that the recipe called for and only 1/4th as much milk and it was still soupy so I let it bake uncover for an hour and for the last 15 mins I added bread crumb

This tasted okay so I gave it an average rating. It is a cheap and easy meal to throw together and gives you another alternative for using up leftover ham.

This was ok. My family ate it, it's definitely better than throwing out the left-over ham that won't get eaten otherwise. I added a cracker crust on top and just a little green pepper for color and taste. Will look for another alternative for left over ham though, as it didn't excite me.

I made this for supper tonight and the end result was comfort food at its best. I made some changes, but primarily to the sauce. I added a grating of fresh nutmeg, a large clove of garlic (sweated with the onions), 1 tsp of dry mustard powder and about 1 cup of grated cheese (1/2 swiss and 1/2 cheddar). The only other change I made was to put a coating of butter crackers, butter and cheese on the casserole. I baked the dish for 25 minutes and let stand for nearly 10 minutes before eating. We really enjoyed this; it would be perfect using leftover ham.
