Cheesy Ham & Broccoli Tater Tot Hotdish

Tater Tot Casserole with Ham

With the holiday over and your refrigerator full of sliced ham, there are never too many leftover ham recipes and ideas to use up all that holiday ham!

I used some of our leftover ham to make a family favorite, Hot Ham & Cheese Rollups as well as a Cheesy Ham & Asparagus Quiche the next morning. I still had so much ham leftover that I decided to try something new and whipped up this tater tot casserole with ham and broccoli.

It is delicious and comforting recipe that my whole family loved!

Ham & Cheese Tater Tot Casserole

I whipped up this tater tot casserole with ham and a homemade cheese sauce for the first time when the guys were in the field. It was an easy one dish meal that I could transport on a plate.

It was a great meal idea that had everything including meat, vegetables and potatoes all in one easy recipe. It just requires 5 extra minutes to whip up a delicious homemade cheese sauce to really add great flavor to the meal.

It is truly worth the extra effort to make a cheese sauce from scratch, as the canned soups just don’t come close to comparison. It’s as simple as whisking together some butter, flour and cheese in a saucepan.

Leftover Ham Hot Dish

This Cheesy Ham & Broccoli Hotdish was such a hit that I even had requests for this to be served as leftovers the next day for supper. I have some picky eaters who aren’t big fans of leftovers usually, so that is saying something!

How to make tater tots crispy

One important step to take when making any tater tot hotdish recipe is to broil the casserole at the end of the baking time. This ensures the potatoes are at their optimal crispiness.

I don’t know about you, but there is nothing worse than mushy tater tots in my book. I like them hot and crispy to go with the creamy ham and broccoli inside of the casserole.

If you are looking to add even more healthy vegetables to this easy tater tot casserole, then swap out the traditional tater tots for cauliflower tots.
