Ham,spinach and Potato Casserole image

I got this recipe out of one of those checkout, small Betty Crocker cookbooks. I think it's delicious and a good way to use up leftover ham and mashed potatoes. The first 5 ingredients and instructions are there if you're going to make instant potatoes, but you can skip that and use leftover mashed potatoes instead.
