Easy Ham and Noodles

After reading reviews, I think I can help the people that said it had no flavor. The trick is in the ham. If you have a dried up Honey Roast ham, no broth/gel from baking the ham, then no, this is not likely to have much flavor. I have leftovers from a bone in shank ham that I had boiled for ham and green beans last week. The refrigerated pieces had a little fat, and the broth had jellied from being cooked bone in. The ham was juicy and fall apart tender. I added the ham pieces and the broth and it has loads of salty, savory ham flavor! Try ham shanks bKed or boiled. So much flavor.

I had major ham leftovers of very high quality smoked ham leftovers I didn’t want to waste. After reading reviews , I sautéed fresh garlic and chopped onions in avocado oil. I used ~ 1/3 C of evaporated milk in with the cream of mushroom soup and shredded sharp cheddar as that’s all I had: it melted well. I also used old fashioned egg noodles that added good texture . Next time I will mix everything together and then add it to the noodles as mixing was a nightmare . I will also add pepper , use thickly shredded cheddar and unsalted butter sautéed mushrooms. My husband and I both liked it!

We liked this recipe. I adjusted the servicgs to6 and used the whole second can of cream of mushroom. It kept everything nice & creamy. Baked it 15 minutes longer as well. Might try adding crushed potato chips for a topping like one of the reviewers had done. I will make this one again for sure.

Very easy to make, lots of flavor. My family loved it. I added mushrooms and cheese on top. Yummy Yummy.

I used cream of chicken as an alternative for our non-mushroom family members. Add cream to thicken.

I made it. It was surprisingly better than I expected. What I did differently: Sauteed scallion whites, some mushrooms in a bit of butter. Mixed everything else in the pan I sauteed the scallions and mushrooms in, added some chili flakes and mixed again. Put in some left over pepper cheese in spaces on top, sprinkled some Panko on top and popped in the oven. It is delicious and flavorful. Yum!

No. And yes

I didn’t know if I should cook the noodles first. I put them in uncooked and added 1/2 cup water. it came out fine.

Great for a fast dinner. I used a can of cream of cheddar and added some frozen peas and carrots and some seasonings. Everyone loved it.

I loved it with changes. I used one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of celery (both low sodium) and two soup cans of milk. I added about a cup of sour cream, a little spicy mustard, 8 oz. of Velveeta and a handful of grated Parmesan cheese. I also added broccoli because cheese goes so well with broccoli. I used a 12 oz. package of egg noodles, and sprinkled some mozzarella and cheddar cheese on the top. I cooked it in a 9×13 pan covered for about 35 minutes and then removed the cover and cooked it an additional 5-6 minutes. Some others had suggested putting bacon in it, but I felt it was salty enough without the bacon. I did however put crispy, chopped bacon on the table and let the others decide.

Changes made: I doubled the recipe. I used packaged cubed Ham. Lightly sprinkled ground Oregano in the mixture, used 3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Scattered several cubes of Velveeta cheese on top of casserole before baking. Delicious

Good way to use left over ham. Used what was in pantry: cream of chicken, celery seed, shredded cheddar, with crushed chips on top. Covered with foil first 25 minutes, and crisped the top under broiler last few minutes. Tastes good. Salt and pepper to taste.

Reduced recipe for two and added frozen green peas. Baked in a 9×3 loaf pan. So creamy and delicious. I will definitely make this one again!

Very good !

As a Child Mom made this….The only difference was she used Tuna, frozen sweet peas, and hard boiled eggs. “Tuna Casserole” Great comfort food from the past. Thank you!.

My mother used to make a recipe similar to this and I couldn’t find hers. I chopped 2 cups of onion and sautéed them until they were translucent, then added the cubed ham and browned it in a pan before adding the rest of the ingredients. I placed this in the casserole dish and sprinkled some Italian seasoning over the top, then into the oven.

I love this dish. My family & I have made it for years. While it’s good with cream of mushroom soup it’s better with cream of chicken.

Absolutely beautiful I added sweetcorn

Best comfort food ever. I skipped the soup and milk and just used the Cream Soup Base recipe from this site, to which I added a teaspoonful of garlic powder. Instead of cheddar I just used two slices of American, which I melted in with the cream soup. Could probably skip the cheese altogether next time, or else add a lot more for a more macNcheesy taste. Used elbow macaroni and added a carrot and some dried parsley. Excellent recipe and so easy to modify. Next time I’ll add some frozen corn or peas or something too, there was plenty of sauce. UPDATE: Made this again, scaled to 6 servings. I left the ham at 1 cup, and used a combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese. Added a dollop of honey dijon mustard too. Came out creamy and yummy! Also sprinkled some bread crumbs on top, but it didn’t add much to the flavor so I don’t think I need to do it next time.

Just made this recipe for the first time. It is delicious. I took some some advice from the reviews and added a bit of my own touch. I used a can of cream of chicken and mushroom, 1/2 a can of evaporated milk, doubled the cheese, added one celery and 1/3 chopped red onion. Also a pinch of garlic powder. Turned out great! Thanks for sharing

I have made this recipe before,exactly as written and it was great!Tonight I made it again with a few changes and it came out wonderful!I cubed up a ham steak and sauté it with some diced celery.Seasoned the ham and celery with a pinch of granulated garlic and some onion powder.I also used some homemade ham stock that I had in the freezer instead of milk.And for the cheese I shredded up some Swiss and cheddar.It was very tasty!
