This ham and potato casserole is a delicious comfort food recipe perfect for a busy weekday dinner.

It’s easy, delicious and can be thrown together and practically no time.

We usually eat this dish a lot around the holidays when there’s plenty of leftover ham that we need to use up.

I love recycling leftovers, and this is a perfect recipe to do that.

Truth be told, I almost prefer this ham the second time around.

Potatoes, ham and cheese are such a delicious flavor combination together. Every one in my house absolutely loves this recipe.

It’s a hearty meal that keeps my family full and happy for hours. Nothing is better than that on a cold full or winter night.

This is truly comfort food at its best. Even my picky kids love this recipe and looked forward to it after every holiday. ?

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.
