Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x13 pan with non stick spray, set aside.
- In a medium size pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onion. Sauté onion until it softens and starts becoming translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Then add the flour and seasonings (thyme, salt, and pepper), stirring until you can no longer see the flour and everything is well combined.
- Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Cook mixture over medium heat until bubbling and sauce starts to get thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in ham and remove from the heat.
- In the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, spread 1/2 cup of the sauce into the bottom of the dish. Then layer a third of the potatoes on top of the sauce. Repeat layering the sauce and potatoes until all are used, finishing with the sauce on top.
- Top casserole with shredded cheese and cover with foil. Bake in oven for 50 minutes. Remove foil and return to oven for 10 minutes more.
- Let casserole rest on counter for 10 minutes before serving.
