  • 1 lb fully cooked chicken ham, diced
  • 2 10.5-oz cans condensed cream of potato soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
  • salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • cooking spray or butter, for greasing

Equipment

  • 9-by-13-inch baking dish
  • large mixing bowl
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing spoon or silicone spatula
  • Chef's knife
  • cutting board
  • aluminum foil
  • Food thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen shredded hash browns, diced fully cooked chicken ham, condensed cream of potato soup, sour cream, milk, and finely diced onion.
  3. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the creamy sauce evenly coats the potatoes and chicken ham.
  4. Fold 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture, reserving the remaining ½ cup for topping.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, the cheese is bubbling, and the center reaches 165°F.
  8. Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Add salt to taste if needed.
