Baked Ham
I bought a small, uncured half Ham at Trader Joe’s that was already spiral cut, so we just heated it in the oven. I’d never had uncured Ham before – it’s really tender and probably the best Ham I’ve ever had – including Honey Baked Ham which I love.
Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole
John & I both remembered a similar casserole growing up that was made with Campbell’s soup, but we wanted to make it from scratch. This re-newed version tastes fresh & beats the old one by a mile.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Make 1 cup of White Rice according to package directions.
Cut one head of Broccoli into small pieces and steam over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes until it turns dark green.
While the Rice & Broccoli are cooking, make the Cheese Sauce:
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup Butter.
Whisk in 1/4 cup Flour
When Butter and Flour are combined, stir in:
2 Cups Milk
1/2 teaspoon each Salt & Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
When Butter and Flour are combined, stir in:
2 Cups Milk
1/2 teaspoon each Salt & Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
Continue whisking until sauce thickens – about 6 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup shredded Cheese
Turn heat off once cheese has melted.
Strain Broccoli and stir into cooked Rice, then pour Cheese Sauce in and stir until fully combined.
Spray a 9 x 13″ baking pan with cooking spray, then pour Broccoli-Rice-Cheese mixture in. Smooth and top with more shredded Cheese.
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until Cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling.
Enjoy!
