Vintage Crockpot Ham & Potato Casserole

Slow Cooker Vintage Ham and Potato Casserole is stick-to-your-ribs good! Smoky ham, potatoes and green beans in a cheesy sauce, what could be better?

I found this ham and potato casserole recipe in my Amish-Country Cookbook and adapted it for the slow cooker. It’s full of cheesy sauce that keeps everything moist, with smoky ham flavor throughout and potatoes that turn perfectly tender after hours of slow cooking. This tastes like scalloped potatoes, but it’s a complete meal on its own.

Key Ingredients

Ham – Diced ham takes center stage in this vintage-inspired dish. Leftover holiday ham works perfectly and this is my favorite leftover ham recipe!

Potatoes – Sliced russet potatoes, skins left on give the dish a rustic flavor.

Green Beans – Fresh green beans cook along with the other ingredients adding a fresh bite.

Sauce Ingredients – A smooth mix of cream of chicken soup, milk, and seasonings coats every layer in creamy, savory goodness.

How to Make Ham and Potato Casserole

  1. Combine the soup, milk, and seasonings until smooth.
  2. Layer the potatoes, green beans, ham, onion, and part of the cheese, then pour the sauce over the top and stir to coat.
  3. Slow cook until the potatoes are tender, then add the rest of the cheese and let it melt before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Meat swap: You can swap out the ham for cooked ground beef, kielbasa or bacon for a change.
  • Other Veggies: In addition to the other vegetables, you can add mushrooms or thin sliced carrots. You can even add peas or a pack of frozen mixed vegetables.
  • Lower the sodium by using the heart healthy Campbell’s soup and omitting the salt.
  • Cheese Swap – Try mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack instead of sharp cheddar for a different flavor.
