Easy Cheesy Scalloped Ham and Potatoes

I thought this was just okay, but Adam really liked it. I made it trying to use up Easter ham I had left in the freezer. I wouldn't recommend using ham that's been glazed: the sauce ended up being too sweet and cinnamon-y for my taste. I might have enjoyed it better had the sauce not been so sweet. Also, I used 3 lbs of basic starchy potatoes since I didn't have any red potatoes.

1 pkg. (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. chicken broth
3 lbs. red potatoes, thinly sliced
1 pkg. (6 oz) smoked ham, chopped
1 pkg. (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 c. frozen peas

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9X13 baking dish with cooking spray. Mix cream cheese, sour cream and chicken broth in large bowl until well blended. Add potatoes, ham, peas and 1 3/4 c. of the cheese; stir gently to coat all ingredients.
2. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. cheese.
3. Bake 1 hour or until heated through and poatoes are tender.
