Ham And Rice Casserole Recipe

No matter the holiday or occasion, there always seems to be leftovers. It gets a bit tiresome to eat a repeat of the dinner over and over, so turning some of the dishes into an interesting entree is more than welcome at mealtime. This ham and rice casserole includes leftover baked ham, cooked rice, and mixed vegetables, which are all mixed together with a rich sauce and baked with a buttered breadcrumb topping. It is an incredibly easy preparation, an excellent way to use leftovers, and a dish the whole family will love. It takes just minutes to throw the ingredients together, making it the perfect meal for a busy day. The casserole is quite versatile as well. Feel free to replace the ham with diced leftover turkey or chicken, and use your family's favorite vegetables. If you're a cheese lover, add an extra 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the breadcrumb topping.
