Pams Hams on WXYZ tv on Easter morn

If you have left-over ham and four minutes, check out the video below for simple instructions for making a ham strata (breakfast casserole.) One of the best things about this casserole is that you probably have every ingredient in your kitchen cupboard already. In addition to the ham, it's made with just white bread, eggs, cheddar cheese and a dash of mustard. You can also add some color by putting some left-over veggies in - we used asparagas.

The recipe itself is also on our website at http://www.pams-hams.com/ham-strata-recipe.html

Ham Casserole Recipe one of our great Leftover Ham Recipes

With Easter right around the corner (March 23rd if you can believe it!), it's a great time to post one of our favorite ham casserole recipes so you can use up the leftover ham from your Easter dinner! This is a really easy one. If you cook the noodles ahead of time, you can whip this together in about 2 minutes. To soften the cream cheese quickly, just put it in the microvave for about 15 seconds and then repeat as needed. REMOVE THE WRAPPER FIRST though. But I'm sure you knew that:) Enjoy this simple leftover ham recipe.

Ham Casserole Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Serves: about 6
1 ½ cups chopped ham
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 8 oz. brick low-fat cream cheese, softened
1 T margarine
2 cups cooked egg noodles (drain)
1 (15 oz.) can peas
½ package Onion Soup mix

Combine all ingredients except ¼ cup of parmesan. Place in a 9 x 13 pan. Put remaining ¼ cup of parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 350 until heated through (about 25 minutes). Serve with crusty bread and a green salad.
