 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2  pound         ham steak
    1      pound         potatoes -- sliced
    2      tablespoons   flour
    2      tablespoons   butter or margarine
      1/2  teaspoon      salt
      1/8  teaspoon      pepper
    1 1/2  cups          milk
    2      tablespoons   chopped onions
    1      teaspoon      butter or margarine
                         Swiss cheese -- grated
                          -- optional
 
 Heat 2 tablestoons butter in saucepan over low heat until melted.
 Blend in flour, salt and pepper.  Cook over low heat, stirring
 constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat.
 Stir in milk.  Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.  Boil and stir 1
 minute (I do cream sauces in the microwave instead of using this
 method).
 
 Layer half of the potatoes, half of the ham, all of the onion, and
 half of the sauce in greased casserole.  Top with remaining potatoes,
 ham and sauce.  Dot with margerine.  Cover and cook in 350 degree oven
 30 minutes; uncover and cook 35 minutes.  (I find sometimes longer
 cooking time necessary)
 
 Top with grated Swiss if desired
