Easter Casserole

I'm not big on Easter, but when u have kids that doesnt matter. With a baby growing inside of me, I get tired easily, so needless to say I was beat by the time dinner came around. I had a small turket ham thawed, but wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Then it hit me: casserole! It mustv'e been my moms inner voice, because as a kid, I deemed my mom the casserole queen. She could turn just about anything into a casserole. So, I cubed ham and red skin potatoes. I cooked the potatoes in a pot until just softened so they wouldnt be hard when the casserole came out of the oven. In a giant bowl I mixed the potatoes, ham, and a can of french cut green beans. I defrosted a block of frozen cheese to crumble into the mixture. Ive realized that cheese doesn't defrost well, because most of the block was melted, but thankfully it tasted the same. I tossed that into the mixture and added black pepper, onion flakes and roasted garlic powder. After put in the casserole dish, i sprinkled some french fried onions on the top, just for a little something extra. I baked it til the cheese was melted and served it as Easter dinner to my son and me. It was delicious! It just goes to show that casseroles are not out dated and there are more casserole options than just tuna and green bean :) Happy Easter!
