Ham and Cheese Casserole
We had a bit of ham left from Easter a few years ago and it needed to be used up. Jeremiah and I decided we didn’t feel like ham soup so I started looking around to find something you can do with leftover ham that ISN’T soup.
I have been making this ever since.
It’s very easy to put together and tastes amazing. Every time I make a ham, we have this the next night and everyone goes crazy over it. I like to use the ‘homemade’ style egg noodles they sell at Costco but if you can’t find something like that, regular egg noodles work wonderfully.
