10 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients
2 pounds red potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (12 ounces each) fat-free evaporated milk
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1-1/2 pounds fully cooked lean ham slices, cut into strips
1 package (16 ounces) frozen sliced carrots, cooked and drained
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Directions
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Meanwhile in a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and peppers in oil until tender. Stir in the flour, pepper and thyme until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add 1 cup cheese and mustard. Cook and stir until cheese is melted.
Fold in the potatoes, ham, carrots and parsley. Transfer to a 3-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Notes:
I don't cook with alot of ham, but I stole a bunch of leftovers from Easter ;-)  The recipe calls for 24 oz of ham...I had 13oz, so that is what I used.  I have a feeling this lowered that calories.  I could have used more ham taste though, but I think 24oz is excessive.  Probably a good round 16oz would have worked perfectly. 

I did like that this recipe forced me to use real red potatoes, instead of buying the frozen hashbrown chunks.  The real potato made it taste quite a bit different.  I didn't peel the potatoes; who peels red potatoes???

Please note that this casserole has a sweet flavor.  The frozen carrots and evaporated milk were the cause, I believe.  I wasn't expecting it to be sweet, but I enjoyed it!
