can i bake this in the oven?
I developed this recipe for the crock pot and haven’t tested in the oven. So, if you’re looking for a baked version you might want to try my baked scallop potatoes that also has ham.
Storage & Reheating
Fridge: I love this recipe because the leftovers keep really well. I just store them in an airtight container and pop them in the refrigerator. They will keep well for a few days this way.
Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing leftovers because the creamy sauce will not likely reheat very nicely after freezing.
To reheat, just warm them up in the microwave. Makes a perfect easy lunch the next day!
This is one of our favorite comfort food dinners and so easy to make! The combination of flavors is a match made in heaven – you have to try it! I know you will love it as much as I do.

Very good love garlic but thought 1 teaspoon would be too much but was perfect & simple. Most time in prepping- Thank You

Dianne Newman says
It was excellent, I used red potatoes because that’s what I had, & used soy mile for the same reason. Added frozen green peas at the end, let them sit about 15 min covered in the crock pot and then stirred in…might half the salt, as ham is salty too…but loved the convenience…did the high for 4 hours…turned down to low when put peas in, then to warm …again excellent!!!

Rosetta says
Can I use a deep fryer that steams and slow cooks
Julie Evink says
I’m not positive as I’ve never used an appliance like that, but if you’ve slow cooked in it before and it heats about the same as a traditional slower cooker it should work fine.
Ethel J Johnson says
Simply delicious. I’m going to try with chicken.
Julie Evink says
So glad you enjoyed this recipe Ethel!
Agnes Simon says
Can this be made with some other liquid besides mushroom soup?
Debe says
Recipe did not turn out anything like site picture. Cheese either melted away or burned to sides. A little watery too. Not creamy at all. Wish I could post a picture to show how it turned out. All the ads covering the comment section are stinking annoying too. Spam site?
Michelle Sperr says
I’m sorry this recipe didn’t work out for your Debe.
Ashley says
My husband doesn’t like anything to do with mushrooms what it be possible to use a can of cheddar soup and stead of the cream of mushroom
Michelle Sperr says
Hi Ashley – thank you for the question. I haven’t made it with cheddar soup but you could certainly give it a try! I hope it turns out amazing!
Kag says
I would recommend cream of chicken soup as a replacement. Kg
Donald Dinnell says
My wife and I made this once about a year ago. She brought it up today and I remembered how good it was. So….just got back from the store and I am putting it together now. Can’t freaking wait as I remember this dish and it was absolutely delicious!

Hope it tastes as amazing as you remember it Donald!
