Ham And Scalloped Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

cooking spray
8 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups milk
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 cups diced ham

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sliced potatoes and cook until almost tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Drain well.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted.
Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 1 1/2 cup diced ham and half of the Cheddar cheese sauce. Repeat layering potatoes, ham, and sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly browned, about 1 hour.
