Like other reviewers I used leftover ham (Smithfield, spiral) and doubled the recipe. Instead of salt I added couple of ham bouillion (Knorr brand) which gave it a nice "hammy" taste, next time I will only use 1 cube of bouillion due to the saltiness. I didn't have Swiss cheese, therefore used shredded cheddar and velveeta to impart creaminess; used a bit more cheese than the recipe called for. Thought the amount of flour was too much as it would produce a too thick a sauce, so I added a bit more than 1/2 the amount. Instead of bread crumbs, I used crushed Ritz crackers. It all came out perfect and delightfully delicious. We all had seconds and I will place this recipe in my "keeper" file. This would make a great pot luck dish!

I know a recipe is a winner when my husband tells me to heat the leftovers the following night! Except for using cheddar cheese instead of the swiss, I followed the recipe exactly. I served it with green beans and corn bread muffins. Easy, yummy and a great comfort food! Too bad I can't award it more stars.

I loved this! I followed everything exactly, except I used reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese instead of the Swiss cheese; it was what I had on hand. Also, I just sprinkled some dry bread crumbs that I had in a can I bought- I probably used about 1/4 cup. Since I made this along with BJTAILLIGHTS' "Easy Ham and Noodles," I baked it at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes, maybe not even, and it was perfect. This made a nice small dish, only enough to feed at most 3 people. But, since I had the other dish as well, it was enough food to go around! My dad's first words when he tried this was "Tastes like a funeral." That is, something that would traditionally appear at a dinner following one, or something. Not to say it is a bad thing- He liked it a lot. And so did I, so I give this a 5! Thanks for sharing!
