I used my leftover Easter ham to make this yummy and creamy casserole. I was so please with the taste, and especially when both my son and husband said, boy,that was good! Another great recipe from Mizz Nezz. -
Really good! Really easy. Loved the chips on the top! Will make again. -
My family LOVED this meal! I was working late and when I came down to the kitchen half the pan was already gone! Worked well for leftovers, also! -
What a great find! I used bowtie pasta, which made it pretty and yummy. And as others suggested, I doubled the mustard and added 1/4 tsp. cayenne. Finally, I used smoked paprika which complimented the ham. Oh, and 1 1/4 cups of peas. Definitely add the green veggie to make it a meal experience.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
