Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked turkey ham
• 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/2 onion, chopped

For the Sauce

• 1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 package ham flavoring
• 1 teaspoon celery seed

For Serving

• Shredded cheddar cheese (to sprinkle before serving)

Instructions

1. In a slow cooker, combine the cubed potatoes, turkey ham, corn, green bell pepper, ham flavoring, and onion.

2. In a separate small bowl, mix together the soup, milk, and flour until smooth.

🥄 Whisking really helps eliminate any lumps, making sure the sauce is creamy throughout!

3. Pour the soup mixture over the ham and vegetables in the slow cooker, and stir gently to ensure everything is well coated.

4. Cover and cook on Low for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.

⏰ Check the dish about halfway through to give it a gentle stir, allowing for even cooking.

5. Just before serving, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, allowing it to melt beautifully.

Variations

• Vegetarian: Swap turkey ham for a plant-based alternative and use vegetable broth as a base for a lighter feel. 🌱
• Spicy Twist: Add a few chopped jalapeños for a kick! This will enhance the flavor and add a bit of heat. 🌶️
• Cheesy Delight: Mix in some cream cheese with the soup for an extra creamy texture and a cheesy flavor boost.
• Loaded Style: Top the dish with crispy bacon bits and green onions for a loaded baked potato vibe.

Storage Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of milk if needed to revive the creaminess.

Enjoy this warm and satisfying dish whether it's a rainy day or a weeknight dinner. Your taste buds will thank you! 😊
