heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Sauté 2 cups of chopped cooked ham in a pan until crispy on the edges, then drain and set aside.

Slice 3 large potatoes thinly and wash them, then set aside.

In a Dutch oven, sauté 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of diced onions until the onions are translucent.

Add 3 tablespoons of flour to the butter and onions to create a roux.

Pour in 1.5 to 2 cups of milk into the roux and stir to combine, letting it cook a bit.

Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper and 1.5 teaspoons of table salt to the milk mixture.

Stir in 2 cups of marble cheese until melted and the mixture begins to thicken.

Transfer the cheese sauce to a larger casserole dish if necessary, and layer the potatoes and ham, then pour the cheese sauce over the top.

Cover the casserole and bake for about 45 minutes until bubbly and the potatoes are cooked through.

Remove from the oven and add extra sharp cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese on top, then broil for about 5 minutes until the top is crispy.
