Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter **
2 tablespoons flour **
1 1/2 cups milk **
Salt and pepper

** I 1 1/2 times this part. I find it makes it better (not too dry) when you reheat it.

1 tablespoon butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
12 ounces 1/4 inch sliced baked ham
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a baking dish. (I used 13 X 9)

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium high heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk in milk. Return pan to heat and bring to a simmer while stirring. When sauce has thickened remove from heat, season with salt and pepper and set aside.

In a skillet, cook onions in melted butter until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread 1/3 of the white sauce in bottom of baking dish and top with half of the potatoes. Spread out half of the onions, ham, cheese And another third of the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Continue layering ingredients, ending with the remaining cheese on top.

Bake for 45 minutes or until golden and bubbly. (I had to bake for an hour - need to check that potatoes are done)

*** I find this reheats better when re-warmed in the oven instead of the microwave.
** Can be used as a side dish or main dish.
