This ham scallop casserole is one of the nicest leftover ham recipes.
I love ham dinners, but if you are a small family, a couple or living alone, even a small ham just gets to be too much.
A leftover ham casserole is a great way to enjoy the ham.
Don’t let length of the ingredient list deter you.
It is very easy to prepare and is another one of those great one dish meals and easy dinner recipes.
I really think you will enjoy this one.
