With Easter right around the corner, I thought I would share with you one our favourite ways to use up any leftover ham – a Ham and Cheese Potato Casserole! It’s a super cheesy ham and potato bake that is nicely served with a side of veggies or a fresh salad and warm biscuits!
Ham and Cheese Potato Casserole
In a large bowl, combine potatoes, ham, 1/2 cup cheese, green onion, and celery.
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, soups, garlic powder and pepper.
Add wet mixture to potato mixture and mix well.
Transfer to a greased 9×13 (or two 8×8) baking dish. Sprinkle with Italian bread crumbs and remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees F for one hour until bubbly and potatoes are tender. Let stand for approx 10 min before serving.

Can I Freeze Ham and Cheese Potato Casserole?
Yes! I like to make mine in two 8×8 dishes so we can eat one and put the other in the freezer for a quick and easy meal another night.
Need help with the sides?
Try these homemade Garlic and Cheese Whole Wheat Biscuits with your casserole, they are easy to make and so yummy warm out of the oven!
For veggies, you’ll love these Balsamic Honey Glazed Oven Roasted Carrots.

Ham and Cheese Breakfast Burrito
Looks delish! And perfect timing – I have a ham just waiting for Easter dinner and it’s way too big for just one meal. Yay for leftovers!
I love easy leftovers!
I love easy recipes too! Thanks for sharing! I’ve made à similar dish with sliced potatoes , no bread crumbs because I’m gluten intolerant. Casseroles are a staple in my world! Single working mom of 2 active girl, while I went to school for my nursing degree. The second tray for the freezer saves prep time so we have more family time too! Great sharing!
This looks so perfect for Easter Brunch!
You could definitely do a brunch with it, possibly even subbing in crushed corn flakes mixed with a touch of melted butter instead of the italian bread crumbs.
This looks so delicious I want to go out and get some ham slices sold at the meat counter nearest to the bacon, sausage, etc.!!! Love getting these easy meal solutions even for the summer if it gives me more time outside tinkering with all my gardens!
I have had this at a buffet dinner lately and I wondered how it was made. am so glad to have the recipe now because it was delicious.Thank you for posting it.
Hope you like it! It’s always a hit with our friends and family!
This looks so good! I just need to know what size bag of hash browns? I am making out my food shopping list right now. YUM!
1 Kg should be perfect
This sounds really good to me and I’m sure my son will enjoy it too, you never know with my grandson, he’s become a very picky eater
This is something we’d definitely enjoy!
do you thaw the hash browns
no, I keep them frozen
Do you freeze before or after cooking?
I freeze before cooking
Going to make this tomorrow night looks fast, easy and delicious!
I think this would be a great recipe to use up leftover ham – will have to try.

This sounds wonderful. I think my kids would love it too. I’m always trying to find easy dinners that my kids will like. Thanks for the recipe.
This casserole sounds delicious and cannot wait to try it. I make one similar to this. I do have a question or comment. Could you use cooked shredded chicken in this? May have to try it. 🙂 Thanks and have a wonderful day. I did give this 4 stars even though I have not made this yet (just cause it looks good).
I think you probably could, hope you enjoy it! We just had it last week!
