Buy cubed ham from a grocery-store salad bar to save effort and money. The chopping work is already done and the per-pound price is frequently lower than the ham at the deli counter.

To keep ingredients from sticking to the casseroles, spray each one with nonstick cooking spray and dust with fine bread crumbs before filling with the potato mixture. This makes for \"easy eating\" and fast cleanup!

Great Pairings

French Onion Soup

You can keep a lid on odors in the refrigerator if you store onions in a screw-top glass jar. Don't store them in plastic as the odor will permeate the plastic and affect the taste of other food.
