Cheesy Ham Potato Bacon Casserole Recipe 435

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8x9" baking pan. Fill a pot with water and heat over medium heat. Add the potatoes and boil until tender when pierced with a knife, about 8 minutes. SEE NOTE Drain the potatoes and set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter and once it begins to melt add the onion. Saute until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Dump the onion and butter into the pot with the potatoes and add the broccoli, ham and cream cheese. Stir to combine, not worrying about spreading the cream cheese as it should be left in clumps and dump into the baking dish. Top with cheese and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 25 to 35 minutes or until heated through. Top with bacon the last minute and serve! Cook's note: It's key that you cook the potatoes until tender during this step or they will still be too raw even with baking for the dish to be enjoyable.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water 20 min. or just until tender; drain. Return to pan; cover with cold water. Let stand until cooled.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir 2 min. Blend in flour; cook 1 min. Gradually add milk; cook 5 min. or until thickened, stirring constantly. Add 1-1/4 cups cheddar; cook and stir 1 min. or until melted. Stir in mustard.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Peel potatoes; cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Layer alternately with cheese sauce in 2-qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray, ending with sauce.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until heated through. Top with remaining cheeses and bacon; bake 5 min. or until cheddar is melted.
