Au Gratin Potato and Ham Casserole #SundayFunday

Rejoice,  for He is alive, Alleluia, Alleluia!!!

This is a wonderful dinner to serve up using some of that leftover Easter ham that many of us are enjoying today.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are providing ideas for using up your Easter Leftovers this week.......

Happy Easter everyone.  I hope that if you celebrate or however you celebrate that you have a healthy, joyful experience.

Many of us celebrate Easter with a gathering of family and friends for dinner.  This year may still look a little different due to COVID but I hope that you are still able to enjoy the day.  I have asked my fellow Sunday Funday Bloggers to join me in sharing their favorite recipes using up leftovers that you may have following your celebration.

• Au Gratin Potato and Ham Casserole from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Broccoli Ham and Swiss Casserole from Palatable Pastime
• Chef Salad from Amy's Cooking Adventures
• Ham and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits from Making Miracles
• Ham and Spinach Quiche from Food Lust People Love
• Leftover Brown Rice Cakes from Sneha's Recipe
• Toasted Croissant Croutons from Culinary Adventures with Camilla

I only make a ham a couple of times a year.  With Easter being one of them.  I love having leftover ham and I especially love having leftover ham bone for pea soup.  

This dinner uses leftover ham and any cheese that you had left over sitting in your refrigerator.  

I like to saute my onions and soften them up a bit before layering them with the potatoes in a 9x13" pan treated with cooking spray.

I use the slicing blade on my food processor to make easy work of the potatoes.  Place a layer in the bottom of the baking pan and sprinkle on the sauteed onions.

Next comes the layer of ham.  I used slices, you can dice the ham if you prefer.  I had made up a bechamel sauce and it is now time to pour over the whole casserole.  

The final layer is the cheese.  You can use any cheese that you like or have on hand.  I had some shredded cheddar and sprinkled a generous amount over the top of the casserole.

That's a wrap for this Easter Sunday.  Please join us next Sunday as we celebrate all things Garlic!!!
