Slow Cooker Ham & Potatoes Au Gratin

Let's face it...crock pot cooking is a life saver sometimes. You can literally throw everything together in the crock pot and come home to a delicious meal in the evening. While I love cooking and getting creative in the kitchen, I sometimes just want to come home and have dinner made without a lot of effort. This is a great crock pot recipe. It is very filling and perfect for a cold, winter day. This is a heavier meal so you will most likely only need a vegetable to go with it or a small side salad.

Serves 6 (1 cup servings)
Adapted by: http://www.food.com/recipe/weight-watchers-crock-pot-ham-potatoes-au-grautin-278384

Ingredients:
2 cups lean ham, diced
4 cups red potatoes, diced (feel free to peel them but I keep the skin on for more nutritional value)
1 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup (cream of mushroom soup works well also)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Directions:
-Spray the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray (trust me you don't want to forget this step or you will be scrubbing for days to get it clean).
-Combine ham, potatoes, and onions in the crock pot. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.
-In a small bowl you will combine the soup, pepper, parsley, and yellow mustard. Add this mixture to the potato mixture and make sure to stir and combine all ingredients.
-Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. Stir well before serving.

Enjoy! :)
