Prepping the Ingredients for Best Results

For uniformly diced potatoes and onions, a top-quality chopper saves tons of time and ensures even cooking. The Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper streamlines the chopping process, resulting in perfectly sized potatoes and onions for a consistent, fork-tender texture throughout your casserole.

For slicing ham or shredding cheese, rely on a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Board to keep things clean and efficient.

When transferring your chopped ingredients, a set of Lifewit Silverware Drawer Organizer makes kitchen organization a breeze, ensuring your prep station stays tidy.

Building Layers of Creamy Deliciousness

A nonstick skillet is your friend for sautéing aromatics and ensuring nothing sticks or burns. The SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch gives you perfect browning on onions and infuses maximum flavor into your casserole base.

Once your layers are ready, lining your baking dish with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll makes cleanup a breeze and helps serve out clean, beautiful squares.

Topping Your Casserole for Extra Flavor

Finish your casserole with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese and fresh green onions. For additional flavor, consider adding a dash of black pepper or a sprinkle of smoked paprika before baking. A final broil ensures a perfectly crisp, golden-brown crust.

Serving Suggestions and Storage Tips

Pair your hot-out-of-the-oven casserole with a simple green salad and a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal. Leftovers store wonderfully in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, staying fresh for up to four days—making this recipe a standout for meal prepping.
