Ham and Potato Casserole

This recipe is one that many like to bring to church picnics. While many like to bring desserts, fresh produce and salads the ones that bring recipes like this with mear are among my favorites. This recipe was located in an old church cookbook.

• 1 lb ham, sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 1 tablespoon bacon fat
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• salt
• pepper
• 6 -8 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thin

Pan fry ham in bacon fat until brown. Place in well buttered casserole dish. Melt butter in a sauce pan, remove from heat and blend in flour. Return to heat and add milk. Stir over direct heat until sauce boils and thickens. Arrange potatoes over ham and pour hot sauce over them. Bake in slow oven (325 degrees) until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Cover for first 1/2 hour then remove cover.
