Potato-Ham Bake
"This is an easy-to-make one-dish meal that reminds me of the type of casseroles my Mom made when I was younger. I've made it using leftover ham, or buying a ham slice in the meat department."

Love this recipe, I found it in Better Homes and Gardens May 2008 issue and have made it a few times. It's very easy to make and so good! My sauce ends up a little watery so I'm going to have to fix that but it's still really good! -
I found this on MSN recipes and after making it was sure that it would be posted here. This is a very easy to make and very tasty dish that my boyfriend loved. I couldn't really even think of anything to change, which is rare for me. I found that the 5-7 minutes was enough for the potatoes so long as they were sliced thinner. We will have this again, especially when asapargus goes on sale. Thanks for posting! -
I made this last night and found that 5-7 minutes is definitely not enough time to make the potatoes tender. . . so plan your time accordingly. Aside from that, excellent dish! Will make again and share with friends and family!

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
