Hearty Ham Casserole

Hearty Ham Casserole

Ingredients:

2 Cups cooked ham, Finely Diced

2 Cups Potatoes, Chopped

1 1/2 Cups Corn

1 small Onion, Finely Chopped

1/4 Cup Butter

1/3 Cup Flour

1 3/4 Cups Milk

2 Cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Salt

Pepper


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.

In a large pot, boil the Potatoes until cooked, but not too tender. Drain, and put into a bowl.

Mix into the bowl the Ham, and Corn. Slightly mash the Potatoes but not so they're completely smooth.Set aside.

In a sauce pan saute together the Onion and Butter. Once the onions have sautéed for approximately 10 minutes you can add in the Flour. Mix together until smooth, and slowly pour in the Milk.

Bring that mixture to a slight boil, as it will thicken up slowly - pour into the bowl of set aside Ham, Potato, and Corn mix. Mix together well, and season with Salt and Pepper.
Put this mix into a large casserole dish, and bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the Cheddar Cheese on top, and bake this uncovered for 5 minutes.
