Instructions: Thaw the hash brown potatoes and combine them in a large mixing bowl with the diced ham, a half-cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the chopped onion.

In a separate mixing bowl, blend together the sour cream, cheddar cheese and potato soups, and black pepper.

Add the sour-cream-and-soup mixture to the potatoes and ham, making sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 3-quart oven-proof baking dish. Top with more cheese, and bake in a pre-heated 350-F degree oven for an hour.

Let stand a few minutes before serving.
