Great comfort food!! I was looking for something easy to throw together and this fit the bill. I used a honey ham steak, cubed, half of an onion, chopped, a 20 oz. pkg. of refrigerated home fries, (sliced potatoes), and shredded cheddar cheese. I really didn't measure any of this stuff, just layered it into an 8x8 casserole dish and poured the soup/milk/thyme mixture (I did measure the milk and thyme) over it. I baked it for the required time, and it came out perfect! Served it with steamed buttered baby carrots and hot rolls. This is so good I'll be taking the leftovers to work for lunch tomorrow! Thanks for an easy-peasy delicious recipe, Nezz!

This is a delicious and comforting casserole! It was done in the recommended time for me, and I stacked it in three layers, since I was using a smaller, but deeper casserole dish than a 9x13 pan. I also kept it covered during baking, although the recipe does not specify (that may have been one of the other reviewer's problems with the dish not getting done.). I used the roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup, and it really has a nice richness to it. Thank you for a great meal that we will use often. It was wonderful to pop this in the over, head to my daughter's dance practice, and come home to a finished dinner.

I actually made this without the ham for a side dish. I sometimes make scalloped potatoes using 1-2 cans cream of chicken soup and a little milk, but I pre-cook the potatoes & onions in a large frying pan in about 2 cups of water first for about 10 minutes first before layering in my casserole, then they only need about 30-45 mins. in the oven. I did not do that this time as I just didn't feel like dirtying another large dish, so I cooked these according to the recipe,except I covered with foil and removed for the last 1/2 hr. which I thought was probably good as they browned and crisped up a fair bit after this so I wonder if they would have been too browned on top for my liking without the foil for the entire time. I cooked for the time stated and once I served them up, the odd one throughout that was cut a little thicker, could have used an extra few minutes, but I certainly did not have any major problems with these not being cooked well. I really enjoyed the addition of the thyme as I like the flavour of it.I sprinkled a little extra on top along with a little parsley for colour. We enjoyed as a side dish and I would like to try again with the ham,I bet the flavours complement well!

This is incredibly delicious and TOTAL comfort food. The recipe is very easy to make, I used red potatoes and sliced them VERY thin, but still had to add an additional 30 minutes for this to be cooked properly. The only thing that did was to drive me crazy waiting to get to them because the smell coming from my oven was heavenly. Thanks Inez for the great dish!

I didn't have cream of mushroom soup handy so I used cream of broccoli and it was really delicious! I also threw in some frozen vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) with the ham and this was great. Cooking time was accurate, and I overstuffed my 2 casserole dishes to feed my 4 kids. I did cover the casseroles with aluminum foil for about 45 minutes of the total cooking time. Two of my kids even asked for seconds. Leftovers the next day were even better. I can't wait to try it with the cream of mushroom soup! Easy, easy recipe! Quick and delicious! Another great recipe by the GREAT MizzNezz! My kids and I give this FIVE STARS!

I had leftover Thanksgiving ham and yukon gold potatoes but used cheddar in place of the American cheese. This was super and easy and delicious. The leftovers were even better! Loved the crusty edges mine got. In our house, the crusty edges are something to fight over!

This is a great casserole especially when you want to use up left over ham. I sliced the potatoes very thin and cooked it covered for about 30 minutes. Then I cooked it uncovered for about 1 hr, It turned out great. Thanks for sharing, MizzNezz.

This is a very good dish, I had leftover ham to use up so I found this recipe and decided to give it a try. I added a few more of my own spices I like but otherwise followed it to the T. Thanks Mizz Nezz

I made this for my husband, the guy who MUST have meat at every meal, and he loved it. I cooked it covered for the first 45 minutes and added french fried onions when I uncovered it. Yummy!
