Tempt My Tummy ~ Ham and Stuffing Casserole

Ok my non ham lovers turn away (or yes you can do this with turkey) ... Yes Amy I'm talking about you :). As many of you know I love ham (yes almost as much as pumpkin) and love to use all the left overs as much as I can. I came across this one for dinner and just had to try it. I love stuffing also, hmmm these do explain my waist but we won't go there had enough of that on Christmas. My dad smoked a ham which was great because the one I did Christmas day turned a little on the overcooked side. My mind just wasn't into it this year :(. I used the box Cornbread stuffing and it turned out great. Since we don't have a big family (at least plate size .. big in other terms ... LOL) I made a half of this recipe. It was super easy since I had a later night doing data entry for work and needed a quick and easy recipe. Enjoy ... P.S. pumpkin haters I held off on making my pumpkin scones ... LOL Oh but don't fret it will be showing up VERY soon. Oh come on I found a knock off of the Starbucks ones :).

Enjoy I know we did :)

Ham & Stuffing Casserole

Ingredients

• cooked ham slices (enough to cover the bottom of a 13x9 casserole dish)
• 3 cups packaged dry cornbread stuffing mix
• 1 can cream of celery soup
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup

• 1 (4 1/2 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, undrained
• 1 cup cooked corn, drained
• 1 medium onion, chopped fine
• 1/2 cup celery, chopped fine
• 8 ounces shredded cheese (I used a mixture of Colby and Monterey Jack)

• Alexis Note: I took the ham and sliced it up into cubes and mixed it in! I used one box of the stover's cornbread stuffing mix and only the cream of mushroom soup, left out the mushrooms and used the shredded cheese I had in the fridge :). Instead ob butter I just used some cooking spray. And in my throw it together fashion I threw it all into the baking dish and mixed it up!
