  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray, or use a slow cooker liner for effortless cleanup.

2. Layer the Ingredients

  • Add the diced potatoes, diced chicken ham, and chopped onion into the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly.

3. Mix the Creamy Sauce

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

4. Combine and Coat

  • Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  • Gently stir to ensure everything is evenly coated.

5. Add the Cheese and Butter

  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the cheese for extra richness.

6. Slow Cook to Perfection

  • Cover with the lid and cook:
    • On LOW for 6 to 7 hours,
    • Or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours,
      until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley just before serving for a fresh pop of color (optional but recommended!).
  • Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite!

  • Add veggies: Stir in some frozen peas or corn during the last 30 minutes of cooking for extra color and flavor.
  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the sauce mixture if you like a little kick!
