Welcome back to She Saved! Today, we have a delightful recipe for you: an Easy and Delicious Ham and Potato Casserole. This dish is a twist on the classic Ham and Scalloped Potatoes, made with love and perfect for using up those holiday leftovers. The best part? It can be prepared ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator, or even frozen for a quick and satisfying dinner when you’re short on time.
A Tasty Twist on a Classic
Do you have leftover ham from Easter or another special occasion? This recipe is the perfect way to breathe new life into those leftovers. Instead of letting them go to waste, why not create something scrumptious?
The holidays are a wonderful time for many reasons. Not only do we get to spend quality time with loved ones, but we also get to enjoy delicious food together. It’s also an excellent opportunity to take advantage of seasonal meat sales. Ham and turkey, in particular, are often available at discounted prices before and after the holidays.
Casseroles are fantastic budget-friendly meals that save both time and money, making them a staple in many households. This ham and potato casserole has become a favorite in our family. We’ve enjoyed it for breakfast, brunch, dinner, and even as a hearty lunch.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups diced ham

- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Sauté the onion in a little butter on the stovetop.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients.
