I don't remember where I originally found this recipe, but I've been making it for 20? 25? years. My family LOVES it for Christmas, or any other time I can be talked into it, esp. the stuffing. I will say, we've changed it over the years and serve the stuffing with prime rib, using low sodium beef broth for moisture in the stuffing (just 'til it holds together; the amount isn't as important as how it looks & feels) It's pretty hard to keep the stuffing in when broiling tenderloin. NOTE: if you have a problem with things too salty (as I do), make sure to use LOW SODIUM ham (altho it's hard to find) and low-to-no-salt beef broth, and unsalted butter. People can always add salt to taste at the table, but unless you want to be drinking water, etc. for the next 24 hrs., be really careful of the salt level. Make up the "flavor" difference with 1/2 tsp. thyme and a shake of basil (NOT fresh), or your fav. herbs. WELL WORTH THE EFFORT!

What an easy way to make this dish and it tastes delicious. Even my finiky daughter thought it was great even with "those onions". I had sweet purple ones. I thinly sliced my potatoes and onions with a food processor, so it only took about 90 minutes on high to be almost done. Then, I added chopped chives and cheddar and american cheese to the top and put it on low for another hour. Only problem was a very brown crockpot bottom, even though I greased it with Crisco vegetable shortening.
