Comfort Food! I love this because it is an excellent way to use extra ham. I used reduced fat cream cheese and fat-free cream and it was still rich. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a great, quick and easy dish! I made it just as directed (with peas) and we enjoyed it, but I may try with broccoli as another reviewer suggested because that sounds good too. All in all a very nice supper that I will make again!
