Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and then cook the onion and pepper until the onion is translucent about 3-4 minutes. Add the seasonings and cook for another minute. Add in the flour and stir until it's fully coating the veggies.
Slowly whisk in the milk and whisk until fully combined. Add in the cheese and whisk until the cheese is melted. Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat to thicken, then remove from the heat.
Add the boiled potatoes and cooked ham to the prepared casserole dish and cover it with the cheese sauce. Add more cheese to the top if desired.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes and then remove the cover and bake for another 10 minutes.
Let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
