Ingredients
- 2 Cups boiling water
- 2 Cups diced potatoes
- 1/2 Cup sliced carrots
- 1/2 Cup sliced celery
- 1/4 Cup chopped onion
- 1 Cup cubed cooked ham
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 Cups butter
- 1/4 Cups flour
- 2 Cups milk
- 2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation
Step 1
1. Chop all the vegetables, I used my Nicer Dicer to chop my veggies. Large holes for the potatoes and the small hole for the rest of them. Works great.
2. In a large pan, add the water to potatoes, carrots, celery and onion. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Do Not drain.
3. Make a white sauce by melting in a pan the butter, then add the flour, stirring until combined. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly until it is all used and keep stirring on a gently heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Once thick, add the cheese, stir until melted and add ham.
4. Add the sauce to the un-drained veggies. Heat but do not boil. This should take around 15 - 20 minutes to heat through and thicken under a gentle heat.
5. When ready, you can serve straight away with some nice cornbread, or transfer to a crock pot and keep on a 'warm' setting until ready to serve.
