Ingredients

2 boxes (4.7 oz each) Betty Crocker™ scalloped potatoes
1 cup diced ham steak
1 cup frozen sweet peas
4 cups boiling water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
1 cup shredded white Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Steps:

Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In large bowl, place both packages of potatoes and sauce mix (from scalloped potatoes boxes), the ham and frozen peas; pour boiling water and whipping cream over mixture, and stir. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the chives. Pour mixture into baking dish; spread evenly.
Sprinkle cheese over potato mixture. Bake 33 to 35 minutes or until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender. Let stand 5 minutes (sauce will thicken as it stands). Top with remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
