Cheesy Ham Potato Casserole: The Ultimate Comfort Food with Creamy-Soup Excellence

A hearty, one-dish meal that turns simple ingredients into a creamy masterpiece. Diced potatoes and savory ham are folded into a velvety blend of cheddar cheese soup, cream of chicken, and sour cream. Baked until the potatoes are tender and the cheese topping is bubbly and golden, it’s a perfect way to use up holiday ham or prep a cozy weeknight dinner.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

  • Base: 2 lbs potatoes (diced), 2 cups diced ham

  • The Sauce: 10.4 oz cream of chicken soup, 10.4 oz cheddar cheese soup, ½ cup sour cream

  • Aromatics: ½ yellow onion (diced)

  • Topping: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • Seasoning: Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, onion, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, and ham.

  • Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all potato and ham pieces are evenly coated in the sauce.

  • Assemble: Transfer the mixture into a 7×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

  • Top: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.

  • Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–55 minutes. The casserole is done when the sauce is bubbly and the potatoes are fork-tender.

  • Rest: Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.

Notes

  • Potato Tip: For the best results, dice the potatoes into small, uniform ½-inch cubes. If the pieces are too large, they may take longer than an hour to soften.

  • Potatoes Selection: Yukon Golds work beautifully here as they hold their shape well while staying creamy.

  • Crispy Topping: If you like a little crunch, mix ½ cup of crushed cornflakes or Ritz crackers with 2 tbsp of melted butter and sprinkle it on top of the cheese before baking.
