Wow!!! My husband and I loved this dish. It was an easy dish to prepare. I chose this recipe because it sounded good, and I thought I had all of the ingredients on hand. I had only one fresh tomato, so I added 1 can crushed tomatoes with garlic and basil, and it was very tasty. I did add about 1/4 cup sour cream to the mayonnaise so I could spread the ham mixture easier. Thanks for posting this wonderful, easy, dish. I took your suggestion and served with a crisp green salad.

We just had a very tastey supper, thank-you Lorac!! I ran out of left over ham so I cooked up a couple of chicken breast halves, cut in bite size pieces,sauted in olive oil, left out the mayo,thought I didn't need it with the olive oil,added some left over mushrooms and salt and pepper, did everything else as instructed, cut back for the two of us, turned out wonderfull. It's a real keeper because it's versatile, can use what's on hand, with the basic recipe. Thanks for sharing a very useful recipe!!

Wow! This was absolutely scrumptious :) I had lots of tomatoes to be used up in the garden, and lots of left-over ham from last night... and this was just the perfect recipe. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed this! The only thing I would do is double the ham mixture as we wished there was more to cover the tomatoes, so next time I will give it a try. Absolutely delicious, and we thank you so very much for this recipe!! Dianne
