LEFTOVER HAM AND CORNBREAD
CASSEROLE
 
It is so good if it's a bit crispy on top!

2 or 3 cups leftover ham, chopped
2-3 cups leftover cornbread for topping
1 small carton dairy sour cream
1 (10 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg. grated Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese (2 cups)
2 eggs
3 cups (1 1/2 sticks) butter
1 package frozen broccoli in a bag with the three types of cheese

Note: Don't use sweet cornbread mix - use homemade or some kind that is not sweet. Grease Pyrex dish with spray oil. Put ham, soup, and sour cream in the dish (just mix it all in the Pyrex dish).

Whisk the two eggs and add to the ham mixture and blend well. Cook broccoli in bag for 5 minutes in microwave. Poke a few holes in the bag first. Add this to the ham mixture and blend it in well.

Top this with the 2 cups (or an entire bag) of finely shredded cheese. Do NOT mix this in with the ham mixture! It's a cheese layer.

In another bowl, crumble up the leftover cornbread and add the butter.

Cook in the microwave until the butter is melted. Blend the butter into the cornbread until it is moist.

Spread the cornbread/butter over the cheese.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about an hour or until the top is brown.

I used the crock pot and added some seasonings (chicken bouillon, onion powder, salt and pepper). This is really good. I doubled it and my family of 10 still didn't have enough. Will have to triple next time. :) Thanks for the recipe. Simple and easy, just how I like to cook.

I used 6 eggs and two bags of broccoli but other than that like it is posted. Was the best casserole i ever made.

Great recipe for New Years leftovers. I used onion sour cream dip in place of the plain sour cream and just used the plain broccoli. The flavor was great and my family loved it. Will make it a family tradition to make every year (and more often too). Thanks!

The flavor is good, but the fat content is too high. I cut the butter down to 1/2 a stick and the cheese down to 1 cup. Still very tasty, but much healthier!

Sorry, this recipe was so salty it couldn't be eaten. I guess it's the ham that makes this dish so salty.

Great! This is so easy. I didn't have sour cream so used plain yogurt instead. Thanks for sharing!
