Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this Creamy Crockpot Ham & Potatoes is as simple as it gets, which is why I love it so much. First, I start by preparing my ingredients. I dice the ham into bite-sized pieces and chop the potatoes into small cubes—this helps them cook evenly. Then, in a mixing bowl, I combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasonings. It’s crucial to blend this well because it forms the creamy base of our dish. I can already smell the lovely combination of garlic and cream wafting through my kitchen! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
