HAM AND BROCCOLI BAKE
An easy casserole that uses Bisquick baking mix. Great for leftover holiday ham. I like that this uses sharp cheddar and swiss cheeses, but you could use all sharp cheddar, if desired.

Tips:
- Select the right broccoli: Choose broccoli florets that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid florets that are yellowed or have brown spots.
- Cook the broccoli properly: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Steaming or roasting are good methods for cooking broccoli.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
- Don't overcook the ham: Ham should be cooked until it is heated through, but not overcooked. Overcooked ham will become tough and dry.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
