Crockpot Rustic Ham and Potatoes Don't you just love recipes that combine pre-made ingredients along with fresh? It saves you so much time! This easy recipe begins with 2 humble boxes of Au Gratin potatoes. When combined with savory turkey ham and a bunch of veggies, it is transformed into a meal you will want to make again and again. At least I do.:)

The best part is, if you forget to start this in the morning (which I always do), you can crank your trusty crockpot up to high and this delicious meal will be ready in less than 3 hours!

Total Time: About 10 minutes prep.

Yield: 6-8 main servings

Source: Modified from a Rival crockpot booklet.

Ingredients:

2-4 9 oz. boxes Au Gratin potatoes, cheese packet included
3 cups turkey ham, cubed (regular ham may be used)
1 1/2 chopped bell peppers, green, red, or yellow....a mixture is nice
1 large carrot, shredded
1 1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
2 cups water
2 cups whole milk
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

Place potatoes and cheese packets in a large bowl. Pour 2 cups warm water over all, mix well. Pour your milk in, along with your pepper, mix well.
Add in all of your chopped veggies, ham and cheese, mix well.
Pour your ingredients into a greased slow cooker, cook on the high setting for about 2 hours and 50 minutes.
