Ham Casserole
There is nothing as comforting as a warm casserole coming out of the oven, and this ham and potatoe casserole sets the mark for family dinner comfort food.The delicious scent of butter,cream and meat wafting through your home is sure to make everyone race to the table when the dinner hour is called. You won't even have to listen to the kids whine ," Just one more level please Mom!" Nope! They will all come running;)
To begin you will need:
- flour
- salt
- baking powder
- water
- 5 medium sized potatoes
- 3 cups diced ham- a great way to use up leftovers
- 1/4 cup pls 3 TBS butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
Step 1
Preheat Oven to 350 F
Step 2
First you need to make the dough. Thats right! This creamy casserole has chunks of savoury dough mixed in with the ham and potatoes. Think peroghy dough style...mmm.
In a large bowl mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp baking powder. Once dry ingredients are adequately mixed add 1/2 cup water. I like to mix almost everything by hand but you can use your mixer for this if you like. It's a bit of a tough dough at this stage so after blending with a fork I prefer to get my hands in there and knead it until it resembles a smooth biscuit type dough. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
