• Stir in milk and chicken broth until sauce is smooth and uniform. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and let it simmer until thickened to desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning and cheddar cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste (I did not add any salt and pepper as the ham I used was already very salty).
• Pour the cream sauce over the potatoes and spread evenly.
• Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake uncovered for another 20-25 minutes until the melted cheese turns golden brown on top.
