This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a really easy dish to make.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe was just okay. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, and the ham was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! My family loves the creamy sauce and the ham is always so tender. I usually add a bit of extra cheese to the sauce, and I also like to top it with some crispy onions.

I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! I used a smoked ham and it gave the dish a really nice flavor. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick. My husband and I both loved it.
