Ham & Potato Casserole (Regular or Dairy & Egg Free Recipes)

Our family had ham over the Thanksgiving Holiday so we had a little bit leftover to make some more delicious meals.  I decided to make a ham casserole recipe and it was a hit with my family.  Since I had some ham I was using up I made one casserole to eat right away and put together another one to freeze for a later meal.  It was a big hit with the whole family (two thumbs up) from everyone.  I made the dairy and egg free recipe, but I included both so you can choose what you want to do for your family.  The directions for both are the same only the ingredients between the two recipes vary slightly.

Although, we ate this casserole for lunch it would be a great breakfast or brunch recipe to use for your family or when you have house guests.  Since we have a little one that is not eating dairy or eggs I made the egg and dairy free version for our family, but I also included what you would use for a regular recipe
