Scalloped Potatoes 'n' Ham Casserole image

I'm a home health nurse and got this recipe from one of my elderly clients, who had used it for years. Now, it's one of my family's favorites. It will never curdle, thanks to the secret ingredient of powdered nondairy creamer. -Kathy M Johnson, Lake City, South Dakota
