  2. Casseroles are quick dishes, I haven’t tried ham with ham yet, I usually make it with chicken and potatoes.

  12. Looks delicious! I admittedly don’t cook with ham often but I always enjoy it when others do and this looks like a winner. I started to use panko crumbs more recently and they always help enhance the flavors!
