Advice and Variations – Try using a smokey gouda or a sharp provolone to change things up; they both provide a new depth. – Use low-fat sour cream and a heart-healthy substitute for cream soup to make the dish lighter.
– A Incorporate some crunchy fried onions into the last 30 minutes of cooking for those who want a little crunch. – To make it vegetarian, just replace the ham with cream of celery soup; it will still have the same satisfying texture.
– A Be careful not to slice the potatoes too thickly; the slow cooker’s moderate heat will make them much more soft.
Those are the details, my dears. An enduring classic that can be the showpiece of any formal dinner or the rustic main course of a more casual get-together.
