Wow - unbelievably simple recipe yields a scrumptious dish! Being the ding-a-ling that I am, I forgot the shredded cheese until about 30min into the cook - it still came out fantastic!! I kinda thought the recipe sounded a little bland so I added scallions and chopped red/yellow peppers. It was so incredible good I had to immediately freeze 3/4 of it so I wouldn't just eat the whole darn pan! Not for those seeking a low cal or cholesterol meal - but a great treat once in a while. Had it with a salad and was full for the rest of the day.

Although I used a bit more ham and cojack instead of cheddar and also omitted the parmesan, my family demolished this dish. We ate it for brinner (breakfast at dinner), and it will definitely be made many more times.

This was creamy and delicious! Potatoes, cheese, and ham - what's not to love? I made it once as written but found it too salty. The second time, I followed reviewers' suggestions to use cheddar cheese on top instead of parmesan and it cut down the saltiness perfectly. I received lots of compliments when serving this to guests. Very tasty.

I tripled this recipe for a school teacher breakfast. It had to be baked the night before, and then reheated the next morning. Instead of using only cream of potato, I substituted cream of celery, cream of asparagus, and cream of mushroom for 3 cans of potato. Everyone was crazy about it. I even had teachers offer to pay me for the ingredients if I would make it again.

I had a bit of a difficult time with this recipe. I pretty much know what I am doing in the kitchen but when I mixed the recipe up as written it just looked like it would be too dry soooo.... I added another tin of soup and more Greek yougert.. ummm no..... it would not set. I improvised by adding corn starch and returning to the oven I left it there until it did set.My improvisation saved the dish and corrected my own error. So iI would say if it looks a bit dry going into the oven its meant too. It will be fine as written I think. It was good but I can't say it was the best thing in the world as some reviews suggest. I would make this again as we tend to have plenty of leftover ham I never know what to do with and this really is very tasty and easy to toss together. Thanks for the recipe. My bad.

Very Good. Broil for last 3-5 minutes to get the top crispy. This makes enought for a small army!

Very rich and creamy. Definitely not low cal but one of the best of the ham and potato casseroles I've tried. I'm not a huge fan of potatoes and luckily this was a good recipe that I couldn't overly taste potatoes.

I made this for a banquet, and although I got good comments on it, I thought it was bland. I think this recipe lives and dies on the flavor of the brand of the cream of potato soup. I added onions and I wish I had added garlic. The reviews said it was salty, so I didn't add salt (and the recipe didn't call for any). It needed some salt (and pepper).

this was a good base recipe. but it tasted very potatoey. i used fresh hash browns instead of frozen and used ground breakfast sausage since i didn't have any ham. i also doubled the meat to 2 cups but it still didn't seem meaty enough. and 2 cups of cheese also just wasn't enough for my taste. you could barely taste the cheese. next time i'll probably reduce the hash browns to just 20 oz and add more meat and cheese.

I give this one a 5 but I did add green peppers and onion and I only had shredded hash browns. This is a keeper next time I am going to try it with It. sausage. Thank you POOBOO for this one.
