Description

This cozy and creamy Slow Cooker Ham and Potatoes recipe is the ultimate comfort food! Tender layers of potatoes, smoky ham, onions, and gooey cheese slow-cooked to perfection in a savory mushroom sauce. Perfect for busy nights, lazy Sundays, or feeding a hungry family with minimal effort. Anything but boring!!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 to 8 slices of ham, chopped
  • 4 to 5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Water, as needed (optional)

Instructions

  • Lightly grease your slow cooker with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
  • Layer sliced potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add a handful of ham, some chopped onion, a light sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a bit of grated cheese.
  • Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
  • Pour the undiluted cream of mushroom soup evenly over the top. Use a spoon or spatula to spread it gently.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Around the 4-hour mark, check for moisture—if dry, add a splash of water.
  • Serve warm and enjoy a bowl of cheesy, savory comfort!

Notes

Use pre-cooked ham—leftover or deli slices work great.

 

For a fun twist, swap cheddar with pepper jack or mozzarella.

 

This dish reheats beautifully and makes excellent leftovers.

 

Add frozen peas or corn between layers for extra color and flavor.

 

Not a fan of cream of mushroom? Cream of chicken or celery works too.
