Here is a recipe I came up with a few years ago. Everyone I have made it for has either been exceedingly polite or really enjoyed it. If you make it in a crockpot it is pretty easy, the hardest part is the prep work (and even that isn't that tough). But that is true with most anything.

1 small ham (2 lbs or so)
2 or 3 medium potatoes
1 1lb bag frozen veggies
1 8 oz bag shredded cheadder cheese
1 16 oz jar alfredo sauce
8 oz milk

Peel the potatoes then cut them and the ham into roughly bite sized pieces.
Place in your crock pot
add the alfredo sauce
pour the milk in the alfredo sauce jar and shake it to get as much of the sauce out as possible,
then pour into the crock pot
add the veggies
mix well
set crockpot to low heat and let cook for 6 - 8 hours, on low it won't get overdone so the time past 6 hours isn't super inportant
about one hour before serving add the cheese, this will give it time to melt completely and mix in with the sauce. You can use any cheese you like but I have found cheddear works best because it melts more completely.
add your favorite spices to taste

Now obviously this is not a low fat meal but it is hearty and satisfying.

I have made a very similar one many times for variety I will skip the veggies and cut up celery and use bacon bits instead also try using white cheddar sometime enjoy drinker

I hope every one enjoys it. One time I had to make a double batch and had to cook it one the stove since my crockpot isn't big enough. God that was a pain, standing there and stirring it for all that time. Next time I have to make that much I will either buy, borrow or steal a bigger crock pot. lol

I actually haven't made it in a while. I end with so much that by the time it runs out I am incredibly tired of it. lol
