2 teaspoons butter |
1 medium onion (about 5 1/2 ounces), thinly sliced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
4 cups 2% reduced-fat milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2/3 cup) |
6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (1 1/2 cups), divided |
6 ounces diced ham (about 1 1/4 cups) |
3 pounds peeled baking potatoes, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Combine milk, salt, pepper, and flour, stirring with a whisk. Add milk mixture to pan. Bring to a simmer; cook until slightly thick (about 2 minutes), stirring frequently. Add 4 ounces cheese and ham, stirring until cheese melts. Stir in potatoes.
3. Place the potato mixture in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle potato mixture with remaining 2 ounces of cheese. Cover with foil coated with cooking spray.
