  • 1/2 lb smoked ham (cubed)
  • 1 small sweet onion (finely diced)
  • 2 cup shredded sharp white or yellow cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • Liberally spray the bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Cube the ham, dice the onion and mix together the 2 types of cheese.
  • To prepare the sauce, pour the chicken broth, half and half, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic salt, black pepper and ground mustard into a stand blender. Process until smooth and fully combined.
  • Separate all ingredients into thirds. Begin layering 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with 1/3 diced onion and 1/3 of the cubed ham. Drizzle with 1/3 of the sauce and 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat ending with sauce and cheese.
  • Cover the opening of the slow cooker with doubled paper towels then place the lid firmly on top.
  • Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8. Remove the crock from the slow cooker, sprinkle with chopped chives and rest for 10 minutes before serving.
