Cheesy Ham & Potato Casserole Ingredients
Leftover ham is just one of the delicious ingredients combined with layers of flavors for this yummy down-home casserole!
- Simply Potatoes Hash Browns – I love these fresh hash browns from the refrigerated section – but you could definitely use frozen if you like
- Diced ham – Whether you have leftover ham to use up or you buy diced – either is fine! You can also buy ham steak and dice it yourself with a sharp knife – it’s cheaper than pre-diced ham!
- Jarlsberg cheese – I love the combo of ham & Jarlsberg – it’s very similar to Swiss cheese – but you could also swap this out with sharp cheddar cheese
- Mayonnaise
- Lemon juice
- Red onion – I like the bite of red onion, but you could also use white or yellow
- Cream of Chicken Soup – you could also use cream of mushroom
- Sour Cream
- Melted Butter – you can use salted or unsalted butter
