Sorry about this, but we really did not enjoy this dish. It had all the things we would normally enjoy in it, but somehow didn't work for us. Possibly there was too much flour - it tasted rather chalky. I made sure the sauce was smooth before the addition of the cheese, but I could really tase the flour.

This was a big hit at my house! I easily doubled the recipe and it fit into a 13 x 9 dish. The ham I used was already cut into cubes. It's a wonderful 1-dish meal. Very rich, creamy and satisfying. Kid-pleasing AND adult-pleasing. Although the parm/breadcrumb topping is great, I think if your were really pressed for time, you could skip the baking part. Thanx for sharing this recipe. I'll be repeating this one!
