Open in Pepper →A leftover ham has a way of hanging around the fridge, and this is how it earns its keep. Diced up with potatoes and cheese, it turns into the kind of casserole that feeds everybody and doesn't ask much of you.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these the week after a holiday, or any night a ham steak is on sale and the potatoes are already in the pantry.
Every recipe here is built on ham and something starchy — Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes and Ham, Ham and Cheese Casserole with rotini, Cheesy Ham and Grits Casserole, Cheesy Ham & Pierogi Casserole, and a Creamy Ham and Potato Casserole that starts with frozen Potatoes O'Brien.
Slice potatoes thin
For scalloped potatoes, cut them about 1/8 inch thick so they cook through in the same 60 to 75 minutes the sauce needs to set.
Salt at the end
Ham, cheese, and canned soup all bring salt, so taste the sauce before adding any and adjust with pepper first.
Cover then uncover
Bake covered with foil for the first 45 minutes to steam the potatoes, then uncover 15 to 20 minutes to brown the cheese on top.
Brown the ham cubes
Give diced ham 3 to 4 minutes in a hot skillet with butter before it goes in the dish — the edges crisp and the flavor deepens.
