Ham Potato Scallop
"Was looking for a recipe to use the leftover ham from Christmas and came across this recipe in a really old Sunset Casserole Cookbook. It turned out to be delicious. The only change I made was omitting the bell pepper because I didn't have any on hand and adding a little extra celery instead. You could always try the bell pepper if you'd like! I also sprinkled some extra Cheddar cheese on top. I love that this recipe uses real potatoes, milk, & cheese instead of mixes and soups and its still quick and easy to prepare!"

I made this lastnight and it was wonderful! I made it exactly as written. Was a delicious way to use up all of my leftover christmas ham. Thank you for posting. -
Excellent! I made just a few minor changes...didn't use celery (had none), added a bit of garlic, and put a tsp or so of chicken "Better than Boullion" in the sauce. Sauce seemed to need a bit more milk to thin it out a little, but that could've been my lack of using exact measurements (hey, I'm Italian!) Perfecto! Thanks for sharing, BrinaBear! It's a winner and I'll be making it again, also trying as a side dish without ham.

I'm in college and studying Graphic Design. I'm also minoring in nutrition and want to go to grad school for food science or nutrition.
I absolutely love cooking and trying new recipes. That's one of the main reasons I couldn't live on-campus... the cafeteria food. Homemade food is always best!
