Prepare 2-quart casserole dish with vegetable spray. Preheat oven to 425°F.
Arrange potatoes in layers in the casserole dish using 1/2 of the cheese, bacon crumbles/ham and onions, salt and pepper layers. Pour milk over the top of the potatoes. Melt butter and drizzle over the potatoes.
Cover with tented foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bread crumbs evenly over the surface. Cover with tented aluminum foil. Return to oven and bake an additional 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and crumb topping has browned
