Ham and Noodle Casserole
"Need a simple casserole sure to please the kids? I served this to friends who later left for Kenya...their girls were pining for it overseas, and you can bet I served it to them again when they returned to the States for a visit! (Talk about easy to please!) Nothing gourmet here, just yummy and great with salad and crispy garlic bread. (Recipe via my sister, who says she got it from Southern Living way back when...)"

Simple and good. I made some alterations to the recipe. Added salt and pepper based on the other reviews. Also mixed onions and garlic (cooked quickly in a fry pan) into the c/chicken mix and substituted 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk (it's what I had).<br/><br/>Then I threw in a can of Ortega, green Chilis (the little can) into the soup mix too.<br/><br/>I added mixed vegetables while my wife said, "You're adding more stuff?! You're wrecking it... Blah, blah, blah." ... But it was Great. Thanks.

Very tasty and a nice way to use up leftover ham. I used Monterey Jack cheese in place of cheddar. I served with biscuits and steamed peas for a quick evening meal.

A big hit with left over ham. Used 1/2 a 12 oz pkg of egg noodles and added about 1.5 c frozen broccoli cuts to cook with the noodles. Colby Jack cheese. -
A good and solid every day meal for the family, liked by both adults and kids and great way to use left over ham. I used cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken, as I only had mushroom. Next time I will make it with chicken. Still very good. I did not have egg noodles so I substituted the noodles with penne pasta which also worked well. -
I made this using ham stock to cook the egg noodles. DH had a huge helping and went back for seconds. Leftovers didn't last long either!

I used cream of celery soup because I had it on hand, and I'm bored with cream of mushroom. I used 1/2 can of milk and mixed in about the same amount of sour cream (mix with soup). I threw in a package of frozen peas (mixed with ham). I assembled it as directed, covered it with panko breadcrumbs on top, dotted with butter and sprinkled with paprika. I baked it uncovered and let it sit for 5 minutes. This will be a standard from now on. Probably works with tuna, chicken and turkey, too. I may add some chopped celery next time--just increase the liquid a little.

I used spaghetti noodles because I didn't have the wide noodles and I added crushed ritz crackers on top for some crunch. -
I made this for my toddler. I used pre-diced ham (the chunks are too big for her) and instead of using cream of chicken soup I made it with cream of mushroom soup. I added diced onions as well. All in all a great dish and reminded me of scalloped potatoes and ham but with noodles. Thanks for the great recipe!

Since I kind of eyeballed the amount of ham and noodles, I ended up with a bit more so added some sour cream I had on hand to keep the moisture ratio correct. I had a nice block of Monterey Jack cheese so used that instead of cheddar. Hey cheese is cheese and the Jack gave it a nice nutty flavor. I liked the idea of adding something green like peas as some did, but unfortunately I don't like peas, so just added some parsley for some green color. Instead of adding butter on top, I crushed some butter crackers with a little melted butter to make a nice crunchy topping. I baked for the 30 minutes, but without the foil on top to crisp and brown the topping. Delicious! Because all the other ingredients are fairly salty I did not add any extra salt, just some pepper.

This is the saddest iteration of recipezaar yet. What a shame. (shakes head, blows nose, walks away.)
