1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a large baking dish to grease it.
2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot butter until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook until it turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in the half-and-half and milk; whisk until the sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes more. Take off the heat; season with salt and pepper. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and paprika.
3

Arrange 1/2 of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish; top with 3/4 cup ham. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Pour in 1/2 of the sauce from the skillet. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, 3/4 cup ham, 1/4 cup Cheddar, 1/4 cup Monterey Jack, and the remaining sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
4

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is golden and the sauce is bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes more.
