Slow-Cooker Ham and Potatoes au Gratin

Layered with potatoes, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, onion and then topped with a creamy mushroom sauce is what makes this casserole always a crowd favorite. Leftovers are fantastic, too.

Ingredients

Servings

FOR THE MUSHROOM SAUCE

  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 lb mushrooms sliced
  • salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestirshire sauce

FOR THE CASSEROLE

  • 4 to 6 large potatoes russet are best, sliced ⅛-inch thick
  • 2 oz. ham steaks trimmed of fat, bone removed, and cubed
  • 1 lb Swiss cheese shredded
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Instructions

MAKE THE MUSHROOM SAUCE

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the mushrooms and cook until starting to lose their liquid, about 5 to 8 minutes. As they are cooking, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the flour and stir until the mushrooms are coated. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the chicken stock and the cream. Continue whisking until all lumps have disappeared. Cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, and the Worcestershire sauce. Set aside until ready to use.

ASSEMBLE THE DISH

  1. Add a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow-cooker. To this, add a layer of the cheese, ham, and then onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Repeat this process until you've reached about 1 inch from the top of the slow-cooker.
  3. Top with a layer of potatoes and cheese.
  4. Spread the prepared mushroom sauce over the top. Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the top of the sauce.
  5. Cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, or on LOW for 8 to 9 hours.

Notes

  • The mushroom sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance.  Keep stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.  No need to re-heat when adding to the top of the casserole.
  • You can prep all ingredients up to 1 day in advance.  Keep the sliced potatoes covered in water and then drain and dry before assembling the casserole. 
  • Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
