Excellent - my family loved it! Made a double batch for company in the roaster - very filling. Make sure you cook potatoes ahead of time.

Cheesy, easy, and delicious! This was a great way to use my leftover ham :)

This was great! We used Panko for the crumbs and it really made a nice topping. It's similar to what some people call "scalloped" potatoes, but with cheese.

Great way to get rid of left over ham! Husband doesn't usually care for casseroles but loved this.
