🥘Ingredients

For the Casserole

2 medium potatoes, diced
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup diced ham
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2Dice the potatoes into small cubes, trim the green beans, and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
3Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
4In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
5Add the diced ham and cook until it starts to brown and becomes crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
6Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
7Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the ham and onions.
8Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften and the edges begin to brown.
9Then add the green beans and stir to combine.
10Pour in the heavy cream and add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

12Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
13Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
14Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
15Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
16Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
17This allows the flavors to meld together and makes it easier to serve.
18Serve hot and enjoy your delicious potatoes, green beans, and ham casserole.
