Slow Cooker Cheesy Scalloped Potato Casserole
Have you ever had a ham dinner that included some cheesy potatoes and corn? Now all of those good foods are combined together in one tasty slow cooker casserole (don’t worry the jello isn’t included in the casserole). You’ll start by slicing some yellow potatoes fairly thin, probably about a quarter inch. Then you’ll whip up a creamy cheese sauce that is so much better than a can of condensed soup and takes less than 5 minutes. The potatoes and cheese sauce all go in the crockpot along with a can of corn (you could use frozen corn too) and some cubed ham. You’ll bake this recipe in the slow cooker all day long and some home to a comforting, delicious dinner. Another idea is to use this recipe for a potluck dinner.

What slow cooker did you use?
For this recipe, I used my 3 quart Casserole Crock. I love the casserole crock because it’s the size of a 9×13 pan but in the form of a slow cooker. The insert is oven safe which means you can easily finish off a slow cooker recipe in the oven. This comes in handy for a peach cobbler (to brown the topping) or to melt cheese on a casserole. It can also be handy to cook something in the oven and then keep it warm in the slow cooker.

Description
Slow Cooker Cheesy Scalloped Potato Casserole–thinly sliced yellow potatoes, cubed ham and juicy sweet corn enveloped in a velvety cheese sauce and baked all day in your slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs yellow potatoes, thinly sliced into quarter inch rounds
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 8 oz (2 cups) grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (15.25 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 lb cubed ham
Instructions
- Spray 3 quart casserole crock* or 6 quart oval slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place thinly sliced potatoes in the crock. Lightly salt and pepper the potatoes.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Add the milk all at once and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1 1/2 cups of cheese. Whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture over the potatoes.
- Gently stir in the canned corn and cubed ham. Coat the potatoes evenly with the cheese sauce mixture.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until potatoes are soft. Potatoes take a while to cook so be patient and start this recipe early in the day!
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the casserole. Let the cheese melt and then serve the potatoes.
Notes
*I use my 3-quart casserole crockpot for this recipe.
Pin it for later!
I’m the type of cook who despises using more than one pan for cooking, lazy, also. Although the Instant Pot slow cook setting cooks at a lower temp than a Crock Pot, I decided to make the sauce in the Instant Pot instead of the stovetop-one less pan. I chose the sauté tab on More or High, each model has different settings for High. Made the sauce exactly like the stovetop version and it turned out perfect. I then continued to cook the rest of the recipe using the High tab on Slow Cook. Was perfectly cooked after 6.0 hours. The only downside, and if you’re unlike my laziness, cooking the sauce on the stove is much quicker than sauté but if you have the time, it’s worth trying. Best potato and ham recipe I’ve made. Then again, Karen’s recipes have never let me down.

Ahhh thanks so much Clancy!!
Can you cook potatoes a little so they are not hard then put them in the crock?
Sure I don’t see why not!
I cut up a couple of pounds of pork chops is that going to be cool and said ham?
I bet that would work! It sounds really yummy 🙂
Could you use a regular crockpot? I don’t have a casserole one.
yes!
I’d like to make this to take to a potluck dinner, I would double the recipe. Any idea if I should also increase the cooking time?
You may need to add an hour to the cooking time. Will you be making it in a 6 quart slow cooker?
I’m not sure if mine is a 5 or 6 quart, it’s an oval one. I don’t even have 8 hours for the cook time, I figured I would do it on high for 5, and see how it is after that. Fortunately it’s a Saturday so I will be home to monitor it.
Yep, that should work! Good luck 🙂

Made this tonight and everyone liked it! Thanks– winner dinner!! 😉
Awesome! Thanks Sabrina for letting me know 🙂
Hi! Would it be possible to set everything in the crockpot, mix up the sauce, pour it on but not cook it until the next day?
I don’t think so. The potatoes would get all gray and gross. You could do everything else the day before besides the potatoes if you wanted!
Just an old trick, you can peel and cut your potatoes the day before. Just put them in a plastic or glass bowl (not metal) and cover with plenty of water and add a couple heels of bread to the top of the water. Cover and put in the fridge. The bread will absorb extra starch and keep the potatoes as fresh as the hour you cut them. Then just throw throw the super soggy bread away the next day. Rinse the potatoes and you are ready to go. 🙂
wow! what a good trick. Thanks.
Any idea how long to cook if I just bake it? I’m starting late in the day so I can’t do the crockpot 🙂
Great question. I would suspect that it would take at least an hour at 350. Potatoes take a while to cook. I would cook it covered with foil for an hour and then remove the foil, check the potatoes and go from there! WIll you let me know how it goes? Thanks.
OMG! I made this today for my hubby and myself. It is the best crockpot recipe I have ever tried! Thank you so much for the recipe! Lo
What a nice compliment! So glad you loved it Valerie 🙂
