Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes and Ham is a delectable recipe made easily with a slow cooker.
I sure do appreciate a slow cooker, don’t you? Just add your ingredients, set it, and come back later to a meal ready for the family!
I have two slow cookers, one large and one small, that I use all year round but when fall weather starts to appear, they get used even more than ever. I cook all kinds of things in my slow cookers. If it can be cooked low and slow, it usually goes in a slow cooker.
Cooler weather ushers in the season of soups, stews, and other recipes that benefit from the long, slow cooking provided in a slow cooker. They’re definitely one of the kitchen appliances that I wouldn’t want to do without.
I came up with this delicious family-friendly recipe for Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes and Ham a while back. This one is guaranteed to be a hit with everyone at the table. I’ve even included a great use for the leftovers, too, at the end of this post.
How to Make Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes and Ham
If I had to pick a side dish that I like best, it would probably be potatoes in some form or other. They’re just so versatile! And when I’m in a hurry, I have no problem taking some help from pre-packaged, pre-prepped potatoes. They’re a really good product and one that I use often.
Layer half the potatoes, mushrooms, and ham in slow cooker. Then add a second layer of potatoes, mushrooms, and ham.
In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients. Stir until combined.
Then pour the mixture over the layered ingredients in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours or until the potatoes are tender. After 2 1/2 hours, turn the cooker to low and continue cooking for 1 additional hour. Makes 8-10 servings.
This recipe makes an awful lot for just the two of us. There are always leftovers and one of our favorite ways to enjoy them is reheated with an over-easy egg on top for breakfast! Enjoy!

I WOULD MAKE MY GRANDMA’S SOUP.
This reminds me of a slow cooker dish that my mother-in-law has made ever since I’ve known her, and it’s been a favorite of my husband’s since he was a kid. A great comfort meal, for sure!
I would make chilli
Favorite slow cooker meal — diced ham (usually left-over), green beans, and chunked potatoes. Jane’s right — you can’t salt the meal until you check to see how much salt the ham has already added, especially if it’s a Smithfield ham.
Posole–my best friend’s family makes it, and I need her recipe!
First I’d have to make these cheesy potatoes and then definitely CHILI!!
Homemade chicken noodle soup :)
I want to make chili – maybe one with turkey and black beans or a white chicken chili
I also like to make soups & stew. I also like to make barbecued pork chops. I make my own BBQ sauce. I think that would be my first meal in the new slow cooker, but defiantly need to try the potatoes and ham recipe too.
Broccoli cheese soup for late Sunday lunch. Yummy.
Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes and Ham would be the first thing i tried
I would love to cook whatever i could if i had a new slow cooker. I love to cook and sometimes im short on time and if i can set that on during the day and tend to my daily things that would be amazing.
I’d try the slow cooker Cheesy ham and potatoes of course. The recipe sounds luscious
I will try Sauerbraten for Octoberfest! :)
Roasted chicken with dressing [stuffing]. My husband loves when I make this and there’s always leftovers for lunch the next day.
I will make Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas .
I just put salisbury steak in my crockpot, but my favorite thing I make is lima beans and ham. My brother-in-law thinks I’m a wonderful cook because he loves this so much. Can’t convince him it’s the easiest thing I do. I use dried lima beans, not soaked, leftover picnic ham and water to cover. That’s it – no salt because you never know how salty the ham is.
With a fancy slow cooker like that I would be using all the time. My husband has requested Pork Chops over Cheesey Potatoes. That would be the first dinner.
Ham and potatoes is a classic combination and one of my favorite dinners!
First I would have to try the cheesy potatoes and ham then maybe a roast. Oh, and some applesauce with cinnamon would fill the house with lovely fall scents.
