Potato ham bake----mmmmm

I like to use easy stuff a bit---if you haven't figured that out by now!

one of those easy things is boxed potatoes--you know--like scalloped and au gratin---

I like trying new ways to improve on them---although they are very tasty cooked as directed--

sometimes I like to put asparagus in them or those canned french fried onions-

I also think tomato bits and extra cheese are a good change up-

but I believe my family enjoys my potato ham bake the best---

I use 3-4 boxes of either flavor potatoes----adding a large can of ham----frozen peas and lots of cheese---maybe even two bags---one mixed in and one on top

we like sharp cheddar and I also try and use a steamer bag of peas---cooking them some before putting them into the dish

I have also substituted canned green beans for the peas and that too was nice--

just add a simple green salad and rolls---hope you try it!

  4. I know probably lots of people have never used them -but to me.if you cook them enough-they taste pretty much the same :)

  7. I have had to stop lots of boxed items, as I have a gluten intolerance... so many things have wheat or xanthan gum in them. Life has been much better since those have been cut out... not as easy to go anywhere to eat, but better. It does sound yummy though!
