3. For sauce, in same pan, combine cream cheese, milk, 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, 4 tablespoons mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper. Heat and whisk until smooth and cheese is melted.
4. Layer potatoes, ham, asparagus, and sauce in 9x13 pan.

I don't generally care for ham, but even I liked this dish! Enjoy!

  1. Aside from the asparagus, this sounds pretty tasty, like a "reminds-me-of-home-comfort-food" kind of dish. Yes, I did just use five hyphens.

  2. You know, you could switch the vegetable to broccoli... you'd still have the color and texture, but maybe with a vegetable you like more. :)
