I was determined to salvage some of the meat from my ham fail into something delicious. Since the meat was dried out, the only way I could add flavor and moisture is using it in a casserole.
Although this dish was my salvation, you could also use the same recipe just to create a tasty meal!
The Basics
- Onion – diced
- 2 carrots – peeled and diced
- Red bell pepper – diced
- Cooked macaroni – about half a box
- Cooked ham – about 1 1/2 – 2 cups diced ham
- Frozen spinach – about 1 cup
- Frozen peas – about 1/2 cup
- 1 can of cream of celery
- 1 can of cream of chicken
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder
- Cooking oil – about 1 tbsp
- Parmesan cheese
- Breadcrumbs
The Rundown
Saute onions, red bell pepper and carrots with cooking oil in a pot for about 5 minutes in medium heat. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Add ham, spinach and peas until heated through. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then add the creams of celery and chicken and macaroni.
Pour mixture into a casserole dish. Liberally sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top begins to brown. Enjoy!
