Ham & Cheese Casserole

Here is an absolutely wonderful ham and cheese casserole dish to serve. The leftovers are wonderful as well and reheat nicely.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine - 1 stick
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4 cups ham - chopped
  • 5 cups potatoes - thinly sliced
  • 3 cups cheese - cheddar, shredded
  • 1 onion - chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper - chopped

Directions
  1. Mix flour, pepper, and salt (omit salt if you think ham and cheese are salty enough).
  2. Melt butter in saucepan. Add flour mixture. Cook over medium heat for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in milk. Return to heat and cook until thick.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  4. In a very large bowl, mix remaining ingredients with sauce.
  5. Pour mixture into casserole dish.
  6. Place covered casserole dish in oven for 90 minutes. Remove cover after first 30 minutes.

Notes
  • Serves 8.
