Ingredients
- 5 boxes boxed scalloped potatoes mix
- 3 lb ham steaks
- 1 package frozen peas
- 10 tbsp butter
- 3⅓ cups milk
- 7½ cups water
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the ham into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the scalloped potatoes as the box says, using the butter, milk, and water called for. Before baking, stir in the cut-up ham and frozen peas.
- Bake according to box directions until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Picky eater tip: serve them the potatoes and ham plain, and leave the peas on the side.
- Make ahead: cut up the ham and mix the casserole the day before, cover and chill, then bake a few minutes longer.
