This Crockpot Ham and Potato Casserole is a comforting, slow-cooked dish made with frozen hashbrowns, diced ham, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and herbed stuffing. It's creamy, hearty, and simple to prepare, making it perfect for busy days.
In the crockpot, add the frozen shredded hashbrowns, diced ham, cream of onion soup, onion soup mix, and sour cream. Stir all ingredients until evenly mixed.
Add Cheese Layer:
Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the ham and potato mixture. Do not mix in; allow it to form a layer atop the base.
Top with Stuffing Mix:
Distribute the herbed stuffing mix across the top of the cheese layer, creating an even coating.
Add Butter:
Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to promote browning and moisture retention during cooking.
Cook:
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on the high setting for 4 hours, or until the casserole is hot throughout and the stuffing topping is lightly golden.
Serve:
Remove the lid and serve the casserole warm as a complete main dish.
