Best Cheesy Leftover Ham Casserole Recipes

CHEESY LEFTOVER HAM AND MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the onions into the mashed potatoes. Spread potato mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a 2-quart casserole dish to form a shell.
• Combine ham, frozen peas and carrots, mushroom soup, mustard, garlic, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Spoon mixture into the mashed potato shell. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese and onions over the top. Bake uncovered until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

CHEESY LEFTOVER HAM CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Pull or dice ham into small pieces.
• Place rice in a 13x9" baking dish and top with ham and stir to combine. Use as much or as little ham as you would like. I used almost 2 cups because I had a lot leftover from Christmas dinner.
• In a large bowl, mix broccoli cheddar soup, milk and sour cream. Start with 3/4 c milk and add more if you would like it a little runnier. I prefer my soup base a little thicker.
• Stir 1/2 c french fried onions, peas and 1/2 c cheddar cheese into the soup mixture.
• When combined, pour the soup mixture over the rice/ham mixture and stir well, but gently, to combine.
• Sprinkle 1/2 c cheddar cheese over the rice/soup mixture.
• Top this with 1/4 c (or more) french fried onions.
• In a plastic bag, crush croutons. It took about 1/4 bag of croutons to get 1/4 cup of crushed croutons (and I used the cheesy garlic flavor).
• Sprinkle crushed croutons over top of all.
• Bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until the edges start to get bubbly and it is heated through.
