This recipe is moderately freezer friendly. The only issue
with freezing it is the potatoes turn pretty mushy and it’s more
like mashed potatoes. It still tastes good though!
Hearty Ham Casserole
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until
tender but still firm, roughly 15 minutes. Drain and cool
potatoes.
Combine potatoes, ham, corn, and parsley and set aside. In a
saucepan sauté onion in butter for 2 minutes, stir in flour until
well blended. Gradually add milk and pepper. Bring to a
boil, cooking and stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and
pour over ham and potatoes mixture. Stir to mix well.
If you plan on freezing this to make for another day, cool it off
before putting into a prepped (with foil and plastic) 11×7 baking
dish. Do not top with cheese yet!
If making it now pour the mixture into a greased 11×7 baking
dish. Cover and bake at 350F for 25 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle
with cheese and bake 5 – 10 minutes longer until the cheese is
melted.
If you froze this, grease your pan you used for freezing then
completely un-wrap the meal and put into the pan. Let it thaw then
follow the same cooking directions as above. If it’s cold it will
take longer to cook, so allow for more time for that. Mine was
frozen, then thawed but still cold so it took about 40 minutes to get
all the way hot.
Such a yummy comfort food! Serve with a salad.
