BAKED DENVER SANDWICH
Serves 4, can be halved or doubled
Prep time: 20 min.
Baking time: 35-45 min
Oven temp: 375*

8 slices buttered bread
1/4 c Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 c ham, ground in food processor
1/4 c chopped bell pepper
1 Tbsp green onion, chopped
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c milk
1/2 tsp salt
Dash cayenne pepper or hot sauce

Trim crusts from the bread. Arrange 4 slices, buttered side down, in a 8 or 9" square pan (use a 9x13" pan if you are dob ling the recipe). Sprinkle with ham, cheese, bell pepper and onion. Top with remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.

In a small bowl, combine the eggs and milk with the salt and pepper. Pour over the sandwiches in the pan. Use a pancake turner to press down each sandwich.

Bake at once OR cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Bake, uncovered, at 375* for 35-45 min., until egg mixture has set and the sandwiches feel warm to the touch.

This is my husband's most favorite casserole - there are times I think he suggests getting a ham just so we can have this! Hope you will agree. Cyn's Ham and Rice Casserole 3/4 c. long grain rice 1/2 c. chopped onion 2 T. oil 2 c. cubed ham 1 can green beans, undrained 10 1/2 oz. can Campbell's beef broth bouillon Cook rice and onion in oil till rice is lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add ham, undrained beans and broth. Stir well; heat to boiling. turn into a 2-qt. casserole dish. Cover and bake at 350F for 45 minutes, or rice is done. Check to make sure it is not too dry; if so, add a little water. Stir well just before serving. Serves 3-4. Note: If the whole family comes home, I have to double or even triple this dish!

I like to make a white pizza with ham and asparagus. I make a homemade crust, but you can but ready-to-ues ones to use instead. And I use an Alfredo or white cheese sauce sometimes if I don't feel like fussing with making the white sauce myself.

I cut the ham in bite-sized chuncks and cut the asparagus in about 3/4 inch picecs, then lightly blanch the asparagus. I then top the pizza crust with sauce, add the ham and asparagus and top with just a bit of parmesan and bake like usual.

Answer 4

Either quiche or a ham pot pie is wonderful. If you make a pot pie get a premade pie shell......put in cubed ham, mixed veggies, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, milk then cover with pastry crust and bake. 350 for about 1 hour.......your family will love this. If you make a quiche......start with pie crust.....add beaten eggs, ham, hashbrowns, cheese, salt, pepper, scallions, then bake at 350 for about 45 min. or until done!! Now there is a good way to eat ham. You can also grind it up in your food processor with mayo, sweet pickels, onions, salt, pepper, red bell peppers and make a wonderful sandwich spread!! No end to left over ham!!!

Answer 5

When I have left over ham, I make a ham spread for sandwiches or to put on crakers for a treat or snack.
If you have a meat grinder, grind together your ham, some cheddar cheese, and sweet gerkin pickles. Add mayo and a little ground pepper and mix together.
