Denver Potato Casserole

Start to Finish: 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients:
4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced (1-1/3 pounds)
8 ounces cooked ham
1 medium sweet pepper, chopped (3/4 cup)
1 small sweet yellow onion, chopped (1/3 cup)
1 cup shredded co-jack cheese (4 ounces)

Directions:
In a greased 2-quart square baking dish layer half of the potatoes, half of the ham, half of the pepper, half of the onion, and half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining ham, pepper, and onion. Top with the remaining potatoes. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes more or until the potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted.

Servings: 4

Notes: This is delicious. I suggest cutting the vegetables in advance so they are ready to cut down on time. This takes awhile to bake, but you can prepare it in the morning or a day before and have it ready to put in the oven for dinner time. We always double the recipe since it is so good and it lasts through a couple of meals.

Variations: I dice the potatoes instead of slicing them.
