HAM AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

Provided by Christina Lane

Categories     Dinner Recipes for two

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces rotini pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups leftover diced ham
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar, divided
2 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375, and lightly butter an 8x8" oven-safe dish.
  • First, cook the rotini pasta in plenty of salted boiling water until al dente--about 1-2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute until homogenous. Whisk constantly.
  • Next, stream in the milk, 1/4 cup of the cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Lower the heat and cook while stirring occasionally until slightly thickened. It will take about 5-8 minutes, and the mixture will coat the back of a spoon when it's properly thicken.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cream sauce, sour cream, 1 cup of the grated cheddar, ham and the sliced scallions. Stir well to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream evenly over the mixture.
  • Cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 5 minutes to slightly crisp up the cheese on top.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.

  • Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the casserole's ingredients, such as a French baguette, sourdough, or Italian bread.
  • Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the casserole. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish: Make sure there is enough room for the bread to absorb the egg mixture and for the casserole to cook evenly.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest before serving: This will allow the casserole to set and make it easier to slice.
