Ham and Broccoli Casserole
I am pretty sure if you are like me you have leftover ham swirling around your house today. Instead of making another night of leftovers, transform them into a delicious new dish — like this Ham and Broccoli Casserole recipe.
- 4 ounces egg noodles
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli spears
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon prepared brown mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup grated mild Cheddar cheese
- 2 cups cooked diced ham
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook the egg noodles following package directions; drain.
Cook broccoli just until tender.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter; blend in flour, salt, prepared mustard, and pepper. Stir until smooth and bubbly. This will make a roux.
Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened; remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted.
Dice broccoli stalks; leave flowerets intact.
In an 8-inch square baking dish, arrange noodles, broccoli stems, and ham; pour cheese sauce over all.
Arrange the flowerets over the top, pressing down a bit. Bake ham casserole for about 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

If you are looking for a change of pace from your normal chicken enchiladas, then this is the meal for you! It is SO delicious and creamy. There was not a drop left in the pan I made. That is how good this is.
Most enchiladas are rolled up and red sauce is used, but in this dish, you lay out the corn tortillas like a lasagna and use salsa verde instead. Try this green chile chicken casserole with your family tonight. They will love you for it!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO, 1 turn of the pan. Add the onions, chiles and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
