Comfort food at it's best! This cheesy casserole is a big hit with my family. I can't resist any recipe that marries the flavors of cheese, ham and mustard, but when you add potatoes, it jumps to a new level of yummy goodness. Try it! You'll see =) Adapted from a Taste of Home recipe. Disclaimer: I have always used recipes as a guide and use my instincts and experience to alter or omit ingredients as I cook. Therefore, it has always been a challenge when sharing recipes with others. I doubt I make dishes the same way twice. So, I advise you to use my recipes the same way. Trust your experience and adjust to your personal taste~Robynne
