Creamy Potato and Ham Casserole

K who loves funeral potatoes? Better yet, who DOESN'T love funeral potatoes?! And how can you eat funeral potatoes without ham and a hot roll or biscuit? It's like the three were meant to be married in life. Seriously. I put a spin on this and my spin turned out to be a masterpiece so enjoy it!!

1 32 oz. bag shredded hash browns
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 onion, chopped
1 package sandwich ham, cut into squares (I use the sandwich ham slices from Costco)
4 large chicken breasts (optional)

In a skillet, cook your chopped chicken breasts with your chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper. I also seasoned mine with garlic powder and a dash of italian seasoning. (we love italian seasoning in our house)

While your chicken and onion are cooking get a large bowl and combine chicken soup, sour cream, and ham. Stir together. Stir in cheese and your cooked chicken/onion combo. After all those ingredients are mixed together real good, then stir in your hash browns. Spread into a 9x13 casserole dish. (if you have a larger casserole dish, you might need to use that instead cause this makes a lot and we don't want it overflowing in your oven now do we?!)

Bake at 350 UNCOVERED for 35-40 minutes or until the center is good and heated.

Serve with fresh hot biscuits or rolls. Broccoli goes excellent with this dish as well, on the side.
