Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes (With Optional Ham)

Submitted by ketchupqueen

"This is a great, easy recipe. I got it from a Relief Society Enrichment Night lesson, and have not found its equal anywhere. I have no idea where the sister who contributed the recipe got it, but it sure is great! If you add the ham, it can even be a main dish for lunch or brunch. And while no one can say it's diet food, it's comforting, filling, and a great time saver for big holiday meals."

Thank you so much for a recipe without soup! I had to read through a bunch online to get to one who didn't just randomly dump in cans and cans of cream of this or that soup. Nice work!

Excellent recipe! I have made it twice, once as directed and the second time I added a jor of pimentos. OVER THE TOP GOOD!!!! Will be making this again.

I absolutely love this recipe! I have tweaked it a little bit though . I also add 1 can of cream of mushroom and 2 tbl. spoons of sour cream . If you like your potatoes creamy with lots of flavor try adding with all other ingredient's.

This recipe sounds great, but can anyone tell me how well it turns out with the cheese? My family doesn't like scalloped potatoes with cheese. Any comments or suggestions will be very welcome!

This would have been perfect if I had followed the directions! I only used 1 1/2 cups of milk and should have used two as stated. I was able to correct it afterward though by adding more milk when I reheated it. It is the best scalloped potato and ham recipe for the crockpot I have found and will make it again. Thank you for sharing.
