Printable Recipe: Casserole with Vegetables and Left over Ham

Looking for a great tasting casserole to use up some left over ham? I recently made a delicious honey ham, but only used a small amount of it. I can use some for breakfast and sandwiches but that would get old quickly.

Start by preheating the oven to 375º F. Cut your vegetables into similar sized pieces.

In a saucepan, bring the potatoes, carrot, celery and water to a
boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and keep warm.

In a large skillet, saute the ham, green pepper and onion in 2
tablespoons of the butter until they are tender.

Add in the reserved vegetables and stir to combine well. Transfer these ingredients to a greased 1 1/2 quart oven proof baking dish.

In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter; stir in flour until you get a
smooth roux.

Gradually add the milk,Kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce the heat; stir in the cheese, mix well and cook until melted.

Pour the sauce over the ham mixture. Sprinkle with the Italian bread crumbs. Bake,
uncovered, in the preheated 375° oven for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

The dish is so tasty and the bread crumbs add a bit of extra texture to the smooth and silky cheese sauce. Your family with love it!
