    • Reviews

  • “My family loved this! I doubled he recipe to suit 4 adults. There was only one serving left over. I also added 1 cup of ricotta cheese just because I had it in the fridge. It made the recipe extra creamy.Thanks …DEICIOUS”

  • “This was a real hit.Thanks for posting it.Great way to use up leftover ham and so easy.I did the microwave method – another hit Recipenut!”

  • “The adults liked this but for some weird reason the kids didn’t. I added more broccoli, subbed mayo for miracle whip, and added ricotta and bread crumbs. Next time I will omit the milk or maybe half it. I will also cook up some onions with the ham and a garlic, possibly seasoning salt.”

  • “Was pretty good. However, I added 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash, and 1 teaspoon dry thyme leaves.”

  • “My family gave this 3 stars.It was good, but it lacked the “WOW” factor that I was hoping for.I did add some extra cheese to the top.If I make it again I may try the optional crushed croutons on top.That maybe the added umph I am looking for.”

  • “Thought this was good – my husband hates mayo, so substituted light sour cream.Added some garlic salt, pepper and green onions and only used about half the cheese.Would definitely make it again.”

  • “This very very good thanks”

  • “One of my husband’s all time favorite meals! It’s great with 3/4 cup crushed seasoned croutons on top. I like to add the croutons during the last 10-15 minutes of baking so that they don’t get too brown. Thanks!”

  • “used mayo and no green pepper.very easy to make and a great way to use up the Easter ham!”

  • “I was looking for a diferent casserole for left over ham that was simple and with ingredients I had on hand.Tried this recipe and we all liked it.The only change I made was that I only had 1 cup of fresh broccoli so also added 1 cup frozen peas.Worked just fine.”

  • “I’m sorry to give this a lower review but I really did not like this recipe at all. I like Miracle Whip, but it made this recipe taste horrible. It was very easy which is why I am giving it 3 stars, but the flavor was really off.”

  • “I tasted it before I popped it in, and can tell it’s going to be delish! We are vanilla soy milk drinkers in this house, so I only had half and half to use instead of the milk. I’m sure it’s going to add to the yummy richness of the dish! I also used mayon instead of miracle whip (Personal prefference)”

  • “We have been making this for years and LOVE IT> Great for a dish to pass.”

  • “I wasn’t so sure about this one- I’m not much of a “mayo in my casserole” kind of gal (especially Miracle Whip- no offense to those who do like it!). But this was really yummy! I did tweek it a little- I didn’t have any broccoli, so I used fresh spinach that I cooked a little before adding; I used regular mayo and cut it down to 1/4 cup and I added some spices- an Italian spice blend that I had on hand- not much. I also added some Italian breadcrumbs to the top with the cheese on top of that for that cut like effect. This was a perfect use for our leftover Easter ham! And it was so darn easy! The ham added a yummy smoky type flavor. I will definatly be making this again when I have left over ham.”

  • “Great meal. Easy to work with. I add Mrs. Dash for some spices. Family loved it.”

  • “This casserole is absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be adding it to my regular rotation.One thing to be noted though, I doubled the recipe and even after doubling we got 6 dinner servings out of it. Thanks for posting this!”

  • “What a delicious way to use leftover Easter ham! I did make one change, I had some Cheez Whiz leftover from my Easter broccoli casserole, so I used it instead of shredded cheese inside. It was so creamy and delicious! Thanks for posting!”

  • “Whole family of 5 LOVED it!That never happens.I increased each ingredient a little bit, but it was barely enough for 5.I will double it next time to make sure everyone has enough and maybe a little leftover.I did use gluten free pasta and 2% cheese with no problems.”

  • “Simple but delicious!”

  • “This recipe is just the thing to help use up those leftover ham pieces. 🙂 I like the fact that all the ingredients were things I had in the fridge already. No extra trips to the store to buy ingredients for this one. 🙂 Thanks RecipeNut for sharing such a delicious recipe!! The family gives it 5 stars!!”
