How to Make Spinach Ham And Potato Au Gratin

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the cheese sauce: Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard until melted and smooth.
In a greased 2-quart casserole dish, layer half of the cooked ham (about 4 ounces), half of the cooked hash browns (about 2 cups), and half of the cheese sauce.
Top with 1 cup of fresh spinach (packed).
Repeat layers with remaining ham, hash browns, and cheese sauce.
Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
