Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or vegetables. For a richer flavor, try adding a dollop of sour cream to the potato mixture. Ensure the vegetables are well-drained to prevent a watery casserole.
Transform your leftover ham and mashed potatoes into a comforting and cheesy casserole that's perfect for a cozy night in. This dish is a delightful way to repurpose those ingredients into a satisfying and flavorful meal.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
Mix 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the onions into the mashed potatoes. Spread potato mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a 2-quart casserole dish to form a shell. (10 minutes)
Combine ham, frozen peas and carrots, mushroom soup, mustard, garlic, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Spoon mixture into the mashed potato shell. Cover loosely with aluminum foil. (10 minutes)
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese and onions over the top. Bake uncovered until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. (50 minutes)
Remove and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. (10 minutes)
