Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked ham, diced
• 2 cups Canned white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans), rinsed and drained
• 4 medium Potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Allow the cheese to melt completely, then remove the sauce from the heat.

Step 6

In the prepared baking dish, arrange half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer. Top with half of the diced ham and half of the beans. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, ham, and beans.

Step 7

Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top of the layers, making sure to cover everything. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the dish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with a light sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

Step 10

To make this recipe OAMC (Once a Month Cooking) friendly, allow the dish to cool completely after baking, then portion into freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
