Chef-Boy-I-Be Illinois' Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

Submitted by Chef-Boy-I-Be Illin

"An easy and delicious way to use that leftover Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas Ham. Rather than the ordinary recipe that uses cream, or sour cream, mine uses beef broth for a rich, yet healthy, comfort dish. There is just something about the salty, smoky flavor of leftover ham combined with potatoes and cheese. Enjoy!"

Hello from Portugal. What a great way of using up left overs, I used chicken (its what I had at hand as leftover) instead of ham, the rest of the receipe I followed as you have it posted. VERY good in the days we are living cant let nothing go to wast. Great comfort food, thanks for sharring this receipe!!

Yum! I loved how the beef broth made a gravy-like sauce. I cut the amount of sage in half, but made no other changes. After 1 hour of baking, I took off the cover and sprinkled more cheese on top and baked til it was melted. Thanx for posting this!
