Creamy & Crunchy Ham and Noodle Casserole image

Someone once defined eternity as two people and a Christmas ham. When my husband and I received not one, not two, but three Christmas hams in one week, I came up with this recipe, which has since become one of our post-holiday favorites.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce.

Not a fan of the crunchy noodles. I think I would have preferred regular pasta.

I thought the casserole was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper and it helped a lot.

I used a rotisserie chicken instead of ham and it was still delicious! The creamy sauce was the star of the show.
