3 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
1/4 cup frozen green peas

If you don't have leftover ham to use, feel free to get a thick slice of ham from the deli. It'll work just fine!

I would do a basic cream sauce instead of condensed soup. Would the ratios be the same?

Hello! If making basic cream sauce the Test Kitchen recommends about 1 1/4 cups to 1 1/2 cups in place of soup. Hope this helps. :)

I have no stars to click on next to where it says my rating, so how am I supposed to rate reviews of my recipes?

To add some more ham (slightly smoked) flavor try a packet of JAMON. It can be usually found in Hispanic sections of your grocery store. I use it when making black beans and rice from scratch. (and I'm POLISH LOL)

I made this tonight for supper. I did add more frozen peas...approximately 1 cup as opposed to the 1/4 cup called for in the recipe. Hubby and me both loved it and I will make it again! Another reviewer mentioned it was bland - we disagree but everyone is different. OOOH ITS SO GOOD!

I am wanting to make this today but only have a 6 quart crock pot...does the slow cooker size matter?

It sounds wonderful! I am looking forward to trying it but I can not always get ham, is there something I can substitute?

Hello! - You can try this recipe with any kind of meat, including chicken, turkey, and pork. We think they'd all taste delicious in this cheesy potato casserole. Enjoy!
