How to Make Ham Spinach And Potato Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with butter.
If using instant potatoes, prepare according to package directions. Otherwise, gently reheat leftover mashed potatoes until smooth and spreadable.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 10 ounces fresh spinach (chopped), 1/2 cup sour cream, 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), and 2 large eggs.
Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Spread the spinach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Evenly distribute 2 cups chopped cooked ham over the spinach layer.
Top with the hot mashed potatoes, spreading evenly.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly around the edges.
Remove the foil. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set slightly.
