This is also a great meal to add veggies to. You can get some peas, broccoli, or your favorite veggie into the dish for a well-rounded supper for the family.
Cheesy ham and potato casserole is also one of the easiest meals to make, and only takes a few minutes to get it ready and into the oven, with only one hour to cook.
Plus, you can make it a day ahead of time or freeze it. Just pull it right out of the fridge or freezer and bake it.

Step-By-Step Instructions
Start by cutting up the ham and setting it to the side.
I bought a small two-pound pre-cooked ham and cut up about half of it, equalling three cups.
One of the great things about this dish is that you can switch it out with different types of pork including ground sausage, country ham, Italian sausage or top it with crumbled bacon.
It’s a very versatile dinner.
In a large bowl, add the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cream of cheese soup, and diced onions.
Pour the butter into the bowl.
Add the diced ham to the bowl and mix well.
Finally, add the frozen cubed potatoes, salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese and mix well.
Pour the ingredients into a greased 9″ x 13″ casserole dish and cover with tin foil.
Cook the ham and potato casserole for 30 minutes and remove the tin foil.
Return the casserole to the oven, cook for 30 more minutes, and serve.
Make-Ahead Ham And Cheese Casserole
The casserole can be made ahead and frozen or refrigerated.
If you freeze the casserole, simply make the meal, cover it with plastic wrap and tin foil, and freeze for up to a month.
When ready to bake, thaw it in the refrigerator for a day and cook.
Or, add the frozen meal to the oven and cook at least 30 minutes longer than the specified cooking time.
Be sure to check the center to make sure it cooked all the way through, before serving.
The meal can also be made a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator.
TIP: If you freeze the meal, be sure to remove the plastic wrap before cooking. I will write a note to remind myself on top of the tin foil, with a Sharpie marker, so I don’t forget.
