This has a sweet and salty taste balanced out by the creamy potatoes. My kids have loved this dish from an early age, and still love it as teenagers.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add ham and brown sugar. Cook and stir ham until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove ham with a slotted spoon to a plate, reserving drippings in the skillet.

Step 2

Stir cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk, water, onion, salt, and pepper into the reserved drippings in the skillet; add potato slices and carrot pieces. Place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook mixture at a simmer until potatoes and carrot are tender, about 35 minutes. Return ham to skillet and continue cooking until ham is hot, about 10 minutes.
