Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole to add flavor and texture. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality ham. A smoked ham will give the casserole a more intense flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese will give the casserole a more robust flavor, while a milder cheese like mozzarella will be more subtle.
  • Serve the casserole hot out of the oven. It's also great leftover, so you can make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.
