The ingredients for the pork and potato stew
pig – You can use pre-cooked ham or leftovers, or even sausage links or bacon bits.
Potatoes – Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces or use a mixture of half potato and half sweet potato. Even important ones will work.
vegetables – Sweet peas are a classic addition, but you can also use other vegetables. Try green beans, carrots or diced tomatoes. Fresh broccoli, cauliflower or zucchini also work great.
cheese sauce – The sauce is delicious with butter, chicken broth and whole milk. I like ham with cheddar cheese but Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend work well too. If you prefer, heavy cream can replace the milk, or you can use a can of cream of mushroom soup instead.
