BAKED CHEESY HAM AND SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE



Baked Cheesy Ham and Spaghetti Casserole image

This is a favorite dish of mine for leftover ham. I like to use a mix of parmesan and white cheddar or you can use a monterey jack cheese if you prefer that, but it is just creamy and comforting. I love to bake a ham once a month. I cut it up and freeze and that way I always have a quick meal waiting to be put together. So many people only cook ham on holidays, but it is a great resource and inexpensive. Give this a try for a nice way to use your leftovers and good comfort food on a chilly night.

Time 1h4m

Yield 4-6 Individual Servings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups ham, diced (if you don't have leftover ham, buy a couple slices of baked ham from the grocery deli 3/4-inch thic)
8 ounces linguine, broken up in 4-inch pieces (spaghetti will work fine)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thin sliced
4 scallions, diced
1 cup frozen peas, peas to me make the dish (if you are not a pea fan, use broccoli cut in small pieces)
1 medium onion (cut in half and thin sliced)
1 cup white cheddar cheese (shredded) or 1 cup you could use monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons sherry wine (if you don't to add sherry, you can add more chicken broth, or you can add white wine, but the sherr)
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 pinch nutmeg
salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pasta -- Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente, drain and set aside.
  • Ham and Vegetables -- Now in that same large pot you cooked the pasta in, add the butter and heat to medium. Then the mushrooms, ham, onion, scallions, parsley and cook until the mushrooms and onions are soft.
  • Sauce -- To the vegetables, add the flour and stir until well blended. Then the broth, sherry, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Go easy on the salt because the broth and ham are both salty. Cook and stir until the sauce mixture thickens on medium to medium high heat. Reduce to medium and add in the cream, 1/2 of the parmesan, 1/2 of the white cheddar and the peas.
  • Combine and Bake -- Add the drained pasta to the vegetable and cheese sauce and toss well. Spray a casserole dish 13x9 or similar with Pam or a nonstick spray and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pasta mix into the casserole and top with the extra cheese. Bake about 30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese get nice and brown on top. Let set 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to firm up.
  • This is a absolutely great casserole. I have also done this same recipe with leftover turkey or chicken and was just as good. And don't be afraid to use a sharp cheddar or even a swiss cheese as well. I just happen to like the white cheddar and parmesan best.

CHEESY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by CBozenka

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups cooked, chopped chicken (1 whole rotisserie chicken)
12 ounces spaghetti, cooked and drained
2 cans Cream of Chicken soup (I used cream of mushroom worked great)
1/4 cup chicken broth
16 ounces sour cream
1 stick of butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 - 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Combine first 12 ingredients. Spread into a lightly greased 9x13-inch dish (or 2 9x9-inch dishes). Top with cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, until bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and a good quality pasta will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help prevent the pasta from becoming mushy in the casserole.
  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is always a good choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses like Gruyère, Gouda, or fontina.
  • Season the casserole well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the casserole is cooked through.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cheese set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Cheesy spaghetti casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that the whole family will love.
