EXCELLENT!! Very Good!! My husband loved it! This recipe reminded me of a meal my mom use to make when I was younger, it is just as tasty and yummy. Ham, cheese and potatoes.. what is there not to love! The only thing I did differently is cut my potatoes into quarters and I used 1 1/2 cans of the midget potatoes. When I finished my cheese mixture on the stove, I was not sure if I just pour it over my potatoes and ham or mix it all up. So, I went ahead and stirred it all together before baking. When it came out of the oven I sprinkled more cheese on top and served with biscuits. Thanks so much for sharing!! YUMMY!!!!

I will agree; this IS comfort food! Instead of the canned potatoes, I used 2 big baking potatoes (peeled and diced) and cooked them until tender, then finished the recipe as written. It made enough to fill a 13" x 9" baking dish. Since I had a bit more potatoes, I added just 1/2 cup extra milk. It was bubbly, creamy, tasty and soooooo yummy! We all LOVED it and I'mm make it again. Thanx for sharing.
