2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup whole milk
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups medium-diced ham
1 cup medium-diced yellow onion
3 cups thinly sliced (⅓ inch) Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons cream cheese
3 cups string beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
Pour chicken broth and milk into a 6-quart slow cooker.
Whisk in flour until there are no lumps.
Stir in ham, onions, potatoes, garlic, 2 cups cheddar cheese, cream cheese, string beans and salt.
Cook on high for 3 hours.
Gently mix well. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese on top. Cook for 15 more minutes to melt cheese.
Pro tip: If you are in a rush, replace the chicken broth, milk and first two cups of cheddar cheese with a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of cheddar cheese soup.
