Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Casserole

This is a really rich hash brown casserole which is the way I like my hash brown casseroles. It’s pure comfort food! Sour cream, cream cheese, and a can of potato soup make it super creamy. A combo of cheddar cheese and colby jack cheese adds plenty of cheese flavor.

There’s plenty of ham in this Crock Pot Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Casserole so that each and every bite has a chunk of ham. This recipe is great for using up leftover Easter or Thanksgiving ham.
