Ham & Noodle Stove Top Casserole, Pennsylvania Dutch Style

"This was a casserole that my Mom used to make, but I had lost her recipe...I recently found one really similar to hers on the Campbell's website, so I added what I knew she added, thereby "tweaking" it to my own taste. Very easy, and very tasty! True comfort food..."

  1. Wasn't that bad. Didn't need to cook the onion & ham a whole 15 minutes. As for 2 cups of cheese I didn't use that much to begin with, put a handful in to start and added from there and still didn't use the full 2 cups. Added peas at the end, but after cooked separately first. I think next time might use fresh mushrooms and cheese soup instead.
     
  2. i definately will not make again,sry to say with the whole cheese overload an im lactose intolerant i didnt even end up having it for dinner hubby is going to and ill maybe revise my review if you ask me it was disgusting before adding the cheese and it was a giant globby mess at the end,wont be using anymore casserole ideas off of here.
     
  3. Delicious. I made this using 12 oz of egg noodles and it was still nice and creamy. It's great served with a side of steamed broccoli. This makes a nice quick dinner thay everyone will enjoy. Thanx for sharing. Miss ya, Stacky!
     
  4. This was good. Nothing that says "Wow!", but still good comfort food.
     
  5. My family loved this dish, even my 5 yo grandson. Like some of the other reviewers, it did seem to be a goopy mess. However, I put the cheese in the cool noodles and stirred them around. Then, I poured the milk, soup, ham mixture over the noodles and stirred. The cheese melted relatively quickly and evenly. I put it back on the burner at a low temp just until the cheese was completely melted and the noodles were warm. The correction I will make next time is to reorder the steps. I made a note to myself to add the thyme, salt and pepper into the milk & soup mixture and stir thoroughly before adding to to the ham & onion. I think one could sub garlic powder or some other fave seasoning in place of the thyme if one doesn’t care for thyme. We do, so it worked for us.

  1. Actually, I would give it a 3.5. It was better than a 3 but not quite a four. I substituted water for the milk and felt afterwards it could have used maybe another 1/4 cup. Upon first reading, I thought it was a lot of cheese, but it absorbed it all. Good use for left over ham and an easy meal to make.

Editor's Note: Sadly Stacky5 passed away on Monday, October 20, 2008. Hi! My name is Stacy, and I'm a single Mom who works full-time with 4 kids ranging from ages 9 to 21, a brand new granddaughter named Faith, and a cat named Pubert (we call him Pube) who is also my kid... That's his photo as my icon. Oh, and a new kitten that the kids named "KeeKee" but who I call Little Kitteh. I love them with all my heart! Even though I don't have my parents anymore, their presence is always felt and their love has resonated in my life, even after all this time. You'll find a lot of my posted recipes that refer to "Jolean" --- and that's my Mom. :) I sure do miss her... I love music, especially 70's music, cats, incense & lavalights, candles, and I love to play guitar. I've been called an old "hippie chick," and I don't mind that label in the least. I also love to try other people's recipes and find ones that remind me of my Mother, and those precious memories that I had growing up in a household with such a wonderfully comforting cook...I work full-time in a real estate office as an office administrator. I came to this site looking for recipes that were tried and true. I stayed at this site because I found people who were kind, loving, caring and shared the same interest that I do --- food and cooking. I've saved a lifetime of recipes and learned so much about cooking and ingredients that I actually feel proud of my cooking. I bet my Mom looks down on me with pride every time I cook a new recipe from RecipeZaar, and I bet my Dad cracks up every time he sees me photographing what I've cooked! My daughters have actually gotten into the act, too, and are quite versed in searching for recipes and answers here on Zaar. Makes me proud to be their Mom. RecipeZaar isn't just a "website." It's a lifestyle. And some of the friends I've made here are LIFELONG friends to me --- and in my estimation, those types of people are a rare thing to find in this world. :) P.S. Pube says, "Hello everybody!" ;) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view¤t=craftykookaburras.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/craftykookaburras.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif"> <img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/kzbhansen/Banners/Animation3.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/Stacky5LRC/banner002_200.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
