serves 8 

about one hour to prepare 

About 3 cups diced cooked ham (leftovers from a bone in ham, or any ham) 

4 or 5 cups of prepared scalloped potatoes (more or less, whatever you have) 

1 can creamed corn (384ml) 

salt and pepper, to taste 

1/2 cup milk or water, if needed 

dried or fresh parsley for garnish 

Heat ham in a large pot on the stove, or put into a crockpot or slow cooker. Add in potatoes, the can of creamed corn, 1/2 cup of milk or water, plus a few cracks of pepper. Wait to taste for salt, as the ham may make this salty.

Heat over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and hot – about 25 to 35 minutes. If using the Crockpot/slow cooker, put all ingredients in and cook over low heat for about 4 hours. 

NOTE – FOR THOSE WITH NO SCALLOPED POTATOES:

If you are using a package of scalloped potatoes (like Lipton Sidekicks, or similar) then add in the package and ingredients with the ham to make the potatoes

If you don't have scalloped potatoes, and if you don't have a package of them, then try this out. I haven't tried it myself, but in theory it should work:
In your dutch oven/large pot, melt about 1/4 cup of margarine or butter over medium heat. Add in about 1/4 cup of flour; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add in 3 to 4 cups of milk (yes, this is a basic white sauce – use your favourite recipe if you have one). Heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Scrub, slice and quarter 4 or 5 good sized potatoes. Add these to the pot. Add in your diced ham, creamed corn, pepper and milk. Simmer over low heat for about 1 hour, until potatoes are cooked and stew is hot. Enjoy!
