Directions
Baked Cheesy Ham and Spaghetti Casserole, This is a favorite dish of mine for leftover ham I like to use a mix of parmesan and white cheddar or you can use a monterey jack cheese if you prefer that, but it is just creamy and comforting I love to bake a ham once a month I cut it up and freeze and that way I always have a quick meal waiting to be put together So many people only cook ham on holidays, but it is a great resource and inexpensive Give this a try for a nice way to use your leftovers and good comfort food on a chilly night , Didn’t really work for us Bland and flavorless , Really good ham casserole Even my fussy husband enjoyed it I added some yellow bell pepper because I had a half left in the fridge and it added some nice colour I also replaced the green onion with diced leeks and some red onion (again trying to clean out the fridge) Appreciated the caution on the salt I added none and it was perfect The recipe made enough for 2 casseroles I love it when I can cook once and eat twice!

This Is a Absolutely Great Casserole. I Have Also Done This Same Recipe With Leftover Turkey or Chicken and Was Just as Good. and Don't Be Afraid to Use a Sharp Cheddar or Even a Swiss Cheese as Well. I Just Happen to Like the White Cheddar and Parmesan Best. |
