Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Sprinkle flour and garlic powder over the melted butter, then whisk together and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a simple roux.
- Whisk in the milk, then simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbly.
- Add cheddar cheese and cream cheese, stirring until melted and combined into the sauce.
- Stir in corn and diced ham. Transfer to a square baking dish or casserole dish. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Notes
- Recipe adapted from KC Parent.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes until hot.
- Freezing: If you would like to freeze this recipe, I recommend doing it before baking, right after making the sauce and combining it with the corn and ham. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking as directed.
