Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes and Ham Alfredo is the dinner your family won’t soon forget! The delicious potatoes and savory ham are creamy, satisfying and packed with flavor.
The other day I just couldn’t think of what to make my family for dinner. You know those days when the usual things just don’t sound good at all? That was my rut that day. I started looking around my pantry and fridge and that’s when the lightbulb went off! Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes and Ham Alfredo is a great meal when you’re in need of an easy, make-ahead dinner for your family.
The best part about this easy meal is that the slow cooker does all the cooking for you. No extra steps with this one. Score! Each component of the meal cooked with the other adds layers of flavor to the dish. I felt like I was taking a little bit of a gamble with this the first time I made it for us, but let me tell you that it was a hit!
I wasn’t sure how the kids would react, but I am pleased to say they were asking for a second helping! The rich and creamy flavor of Alfredo sauce that covers the succulent ham and tender potatoes is irresistible. My mouth is watering just writing about this. Maybe I’ll head back to the kitchen and see if I have everything to make this again tonight!
CAN THIS DISH BE MADE VEGETARIAN?
Totally! Substitute the ham for broccoli florets or other vegetables like zucchini, squash, and mushrooms.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR EVERYTHING TO COOK THROUGH?
Set your crock pot on low for 6 hours for a perfectly cooked meal. This can also be cooked on high heat for 3 hours or until potatoes are tender.
WHAT KIND OF POTATOES SHOULD I USE?
I recommend using red potatoes, but try also using russet or golden potatoes.
