| Directions | In a saucepan, bring the potatoes, carrot, celery and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. In a large skillet, sauté the ham, green peppers and onion in 3 tablespoons butter until tender. Add to the potato mixture. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2 quart baking dish. In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add cheese and stir until melted. Pour over the ham mixture. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through. |
