Broccoli, Ham and Swiss Casserole repurposes leftover ham with egg noodles in a creamy cheese sauce with healthy broccoli.
Broccoli, Ham and Swiss Casserole
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Broccoli, Ham and Swiss Casserole is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We gather up on Sundays to post our fav recipes on different topics. This week we are sharing our best new recipes to repurpose Easter leftovers. If we manage to have any!
I’ve taken my own leftover ham and mixed it up with healthy broccoli and egg noodles in a Swiss cheese sauce in this comforting hot dish casserole. Who doesn’t love a noodle supper?
I know whenever I have a baked ham there is always leftover. Not that I am complaining. I do love having extra for sandwiches, making beans and other things. Especially the ham bone. It is so full of flavor and collagen! Perfect for those beans or making soup broth.
This casserole comes together easily using canned soups. If you prefer, make a thick sauce with stock, evap. milk and extra chicken base. I am using up canned goods I picked up during covid food shortages. But either way, I am not averse to using cream soups in a recipe.
The result is a comforting hot dish that paired with some tossed salad, makes for a very homestyle supper.
