Farmer's Casserole

This is a great use for the leftover Easter ham. You can prepare it the night before, or if you're last minute like me it still works like a charm to throw it all together at once. I didn't have ham, but Jimmy Dean sausage was wonderful (I cooked it first then mixed it in with everything). I think this serves more than 6 people, but I must confess I couldn't eat just one scoop.
