Scalloped Potatoes & Ham Casserole

I know that most of my recipes are made with chicken, pork, and turkey. I am trying to get better at putting up some recipes that are made with beef and other kinds of meat. Bryan and me do not eat any seafood, so unfortunately you will never see any recipes containing anything remotely close to seafood. However, we like just about any other kind of food. I promise to get better at posting a variety of cuisines. Here is a really delicious ham recipe. It's always a big hit at our house and makes enough for several leftovers for the work week. All you need with this dish is a simple side salad or a vegetable of your choice. I served buttered peas and sliced pears with this casserole.

Scalloped Potatoes & Ham Casserole
Serves 8
Adapted from: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/new-look-scalloped-potatoes-ham-69207.aspx

Ingredients:
-2 1/4 pounds red potatoes - cut in 1/4 inch slices (use a mandolin slicer to slice potatoes or use a sharp knife but try to get them as thin as possible)
-8 ounces light or fat free sour cream (I used fat free sour cream)
-8 ounces 2% milk Velveeta - cut into 1/2 inch cubes
-1/4 - 1/2 pound ham - chopped into small cubes (I used closer to 1/2 pound cause we love ham)
-2 green onions - sliced
-1/4 cup grated reduced fat parmesan cheese
-salt and pepper for seasoning purposes

Directions:
-Heat oven to 350 degrees
-In a pot, add water and bring to a boil on the stovetop.
-Once the pot is boiling, add your cut up red potatoes and boil until potatoes are tender. 10-15 minutes is probably all the time you will need. Drain potatoes and return to the stove with the heat off.
-Remove half of the potatoes and place in a large bowl. To the bowl, add sour cream and mash until smooth. Add additional sour cream if you need to get it smooth.
-Once the potatoes are mashed, add velveeta, ham, green onions, and seasonings (salt and pepper) and stir together until blended well.
-Gently stir in the remaining red potatoes.
-In a 13 x 9 baking dish, spray nonstick cooking spray and pour contents of the bowl into the baking dish.
-Sprinkle top of the dish with parmesan cheese.
-Bake 25-30 minutes.

Tips:
-We smoked a boneless ham and used some of the leftovers to make this dish. A boneless ham or ham steak will work just fine. Make sure to cut off any bones.
-With the holidays coming up, you might find yourself with lots of leftover ham. Here is a great way to use some of it.

Enjoy! :)
