Ham and asparagus casserole. That's because most of the prep work (cooking pasta and making a light cream sauce) is done on the stovetop. Simply bake to brown the breadcrumbs and make the filling bubbly. This is a great way to use leftover ham.
Ingredients of Ham and asparagus casserole
- You need 1 bunch of green asparagus.
- It’s 1 bunch of green onions.
- Prepare 1 cup of mushrooms.
- You need 1 can of low fat cream of mushroom soup.
- It’s 1 cup of low fat sour cream.
- It’s 2 tbsp of water.
- You need 2 cup of shredded cheddar jack cheese.
- You need 2 cup of cooked ham.
- Prepare 1 1/3 cup of dried crispy fried onions.
In a small bowl, toss together the Swiss and Parmesan cheeses. In a large bowl, combine asparagus mixture, peas, ham, soups, sour cream, milk, and salt. Add cooked pasta, tossing gently to combine. A great weeknight meal following Yet it's equally delicious with leftovers from a Christmas ham too.

I love to change up the asparagus and include shredded Brussel sprouts or. Very easy to throw together, baked up nicely and was a big hit. Super fast supper for a busy weeknight. While we call for ham, feel free to try this with leftover chicken or turkey instead if you prefer. Lightly spoon the flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife.
