I don't normally cook with boxed mixes, but I was home in Ohio, my brother needed dinner, mom wasn't home and I was given the order to make something in the crock pot with ham. Mom had handed me a recipe, but we didn't have the right things I needed to make the recipe so I decided to cross my fingers and improvise. I poured everything into the crock pot and crossed my fingers. After about an hour, delicious smell started wafting from the crock pot. By the time my brother got home, the whole house smelled amazing. He ended up having two servings right away and then had more for lunch the next day. The whole crock pot was gone in 2.5 days. This is definitely a great recipe and a good use for leftover ham.

Recipe
2 boxes of Au Gratin Potatoes
1 c. of cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 c. sour cream
2.5 c. of milk
2.5 c. of water
1 tbsp Hungarian paprika
1 onion, diced
2 tbsp of minced garlic
2 tsp of Creole seasoning (I used Tony Chachere's Famous Creole Seasoning)
1 to 1 1/2 cups of diced ham
1 Tbsp of cornstarch
1 Tbsp of water
Add all the ingredients into the crock pot. Turn on low and let cook until the potatoes are soft, at least 4 hours. Or cook for approximately 2 on high. After 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with water and add the mixture to the crock pot. Serve once the sauce starts to thicken.
