Leftover Ham Casserole
"I threw this together today with a bunch of leftovers we had in the kitchen. My picky son liked it. I made it low in fat by using light and low fat products. I served it with a green salad."

Does this mean 2 oz dry macaroni boiled to yield 1.5 cups of cooked macaroni? -
Do you cover the casserole while it bakes? -
What do I do with the water?

This is a great ham casserole. I am always looking for recipes to use up leftovers. I made this recipe exactly as stated, and it came out delicious. Thanks! -
Delicious way to use up the leftover Christmas ham and veggie tray! My 11 year old couldn't get enough of it. The only changes I made were milk instead of water, and four chopped green onions instead of one regular onion. I wasn't sure about the macaroni quantity, so I measured 1-1/2 cups dry macaroni, then I cooked it. It turned out perfect. Enjoy! Dilemmo -
HOW GOOD WAS THIS? I'm making it twice in 4 days!! It was very, very tasty with the mushroom soup. I used a 2 qt. round Pyrex bowl and it had plenty of room for the ingredients and was perfect for 2 people. I also added splashes of hot sauce for our taste. The 2nd time I'm making it with cauliflower since I ran out of broccoli. I'm sure it'll work just as good. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that I'll make over and over. -
I made this yesterday and my husband really liked it. I added chicken broth instead of water to loosen it up, also added some banana peppers and a little of that juice. It gave it a great flavor with a little kick.

My husband really enjoyed this. I made a few tweaks to enhance the flavours but overall very good.

Very good. I added finely chopped red pepper, dried parsley, Italian seasoning and red chilli pepper flakes to spice it up a bit and doubled the cheese (old cheddar).

Subbed pasta for thinly sliced potatoes, 10 oz can mushroom soup instead od water, cooked in crock pot for 2 1/2 hrs on high. -
This was a great recipe. I made a few substitutions: penne pasta instead for macaroni, green beans and corn for broccoli. Then I topped the casserole with bread crumbs for an au gratin dish. Even my very picky husband enjoyed it.

Great recipe. I made a few changes since I needed to make it for 8. I only used 2 cups broccoli (instead of 4 - kids don't like broccoli so not easy to disguise), 2 cups cheese (instead of 3), omitted the water and used organic 2% milk (added whole wheat flour later and cooked an additional 10 min. to thicken sauce) instead of the 2 cans low-fat cream of mushroom soup. Also used whole wheat macaroni. Everyone liked it so will definitely make it again.
