We really enjoyed this casserole! I used a combo of Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese, and lots of leftover ham. I did do one thing differently, I made a roux with a mixture of milk and cheese, and poured it on top. I did this only because we thought we would like it a bit saucier and cheesier. I am sure it would have been great without it though! Thanks for posting!

I mixed in about 3/4 cup of cheese rather than sprinkle on top. It turned out really well, family liked it.
