Ingredients

4 cups cubed (1/2 inch) unpeeled red potatoes (4 medium)
1 teaspoon olive or canola oil
1 cup chopped green bell pepper (1 medium)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/4 cups fat-free (skim) milk
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup reduced-fat or fat-free mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
2 cups cubed cooked ham

Steps

1

Place potatoes in 2-quart saucepan; add enough water just to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain.
2

Heat oven to 350°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
3

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix milk and flour with wire whisk until well blended. Stir into vegetables in skillet. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cook uncovered 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in mayonnaise, pepper and cheese; stir until cheese is melted.
4

Place ham and potatoes in ungreased 2-quart casserole. Pour milk mixture over ham mixture; stir to mix. Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and light golden brown on top.

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.
Red potatoes are recommended for this recipe because they're a little firmer than russets and hold their shape well.
For convenience, look for packages of cubed cooked ham in the packaged meat section of the supermarket.
