Ham and cheese potato casserole


I came home from church yesterday, hungry and didn't know what  to make for dinner.
(hadn't planned ahead)
 oh shut up!!
I had potatoes, ham and cheese.
This is what I ended up making and it was delicious.
I was excited to have some left overs..
but then....
 3 of my sons came over to visit and asking
 for something to eat.
 I warmed this up and they loved it. Simple to make.
Just needed a little time to bake.
