Ingredients for Penne Pasta Casserole

3. Add flour, cooking about 2 minutes.
4. Whisk in the milk, cooking until slightly thickened, 1 – 2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat. Whisk in chopped rosemary, half of the shredded cheese and sour cream.

7. Stir until well combined.
8. Top with remaining cheese and ham.

6. Bake for 30 minutes or until pasta is bubbly and the top is starting to brown.
7. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.

How to Make Supreme Breakfast Pizza:

• First, you make a biscuit crust, this is a scaled down version of my favorite buttermilk biscuits recipe. 
• In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter and shortening until crumbly and then mix in buttermilk until dough comes together. 

• Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking ditch with non stick cooking spray. 
• Pour dough into pan and sprinkle with a little flour. Press dough into pan and just slightly up the sides. 
• Bake for 20 minutes. 

• Meanwhile, beat eggs with milk, cream, cheese, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. 
• Next, you will pour the egg mixture over baked crust and return to oven.

• While the egg layer bakes, cook the sausage in a large skillet until well browned and crumbly. Add peppers, onions and mushrooms and cook until vegetables are softened. 

• Next, mix jarred pasta sauce or tomato sauce with sugar, oregano, basil and thyme.

• Spread over baked egg mixture. Top with cooked sausage and vegetables. 
• Then, sprinkle cheese over the top and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly. 

• Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving. 

Storing and Reheating Breakfast Pizza:

Store leftover casserole wrapped in plastic wrap up to 3 days. To reheat, cut into slices and place on a baking sheet. Cover with foil and cook at 350° for 10- 12 minutes or until heated through. 

This is not an ordinary casserole and you might be a little skeptical of the egg and pizza combo, but I promise with just one bite that you will be a fan. It’s a great recipe to change up the dinner routine or to feed the whole family for a weekend brunch.

Ham and Potato Casserole is a hearty meal that can be made easily in the crock pot or the oven. Layers of ham and potatoes and a rich and creamy sauce makes this one a keeper for the recipe box!

Slow Cooker Cheesy Ham and Potato Casserole

Even though I’m home all day, I still love being able to get dinner going in the crock pot and move onto my never ending list of things I need to do.

I totally use my slow cooker all year long. I really love it in the summer since it won’t heat up the house. Of course, I am beginning to wonder if warm weather is really coming this year. We’ve had such a late spring.

They are promising warm temperatures this weekend and I’m hoping for it so we can finally get our garden planted.

Emmet just has two more weeks of school before summer break and I’m so ready for it. When summer rolls around, a dinner time schedule is totally out the window for us. So I depend on easy dinners like this to be ready and waiting for the guys.

How to Make Slow Cooker Cheesy Ham and Potato Casserole:

The ingredients for Ham and Potato Casserole are simple:

• Potatoes
• Onion
• Garlic
• Butter
• Cream cheese
• Flour
• Salt & Pepper
  Milk
• Chicken broth
• Cheese
  

  

Sauté onions and garlic in butter, add in flour and liquids, cream cheese plus salt and pepper, mixing until thickened. Remove from heat and add shredded cheese. Saute onions and garlic in butter, add in flour and liquids, mixing until thickened. Remove from heat and add shredded cheese.

Slice potatoes thinly and chop ham into bite- size pieces. The thinner the potatoes are sliced, the quicker your casserole will cook. I absolutely love my hand held mandolin for slicing potatoes. Just be careful, it is so easy to slice your fingers right off!

Add sauce to slow cooker.

Stir in ham and potatoes and mix until well combined.

At this point, you can put this in the oven if you prefer, just bake at about 400 degrees for about an hour to an hour and a half.

I like to add more shredded cheese after the casserole is cooked. I let it all set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. That cheesy goodness is like molten lava and the sauce will thicken up a bit and soak into the potatoes as it cools slightly.

I add a few fresh herbs and this casserole is ready to go. I love that it will stay warm in the crock pot so if everyone is on a different schedule. It’s a dish that is good immediately or even 3 hours later.

My kids love ham and they were really bummed that I didn’t have any leftover Easter ham this year. So I grabbed a bargain after Easter and we had ham for days. Those were some happy kids!

I saved the ham bone to make a batch of my favorite Slow Cooker Black Beans with a side of Skillet Cornbread. What can I say, I’m pretty into comfort food!

I made a ton of ham sandwiches and made the best cheesy ham and potato casserole with the rest. It’s also one of those dishes that makes great leftovers for easy lunches.

What’s your favorite recipe for using leftover ham?

Ashley has been amazingly strong through this journey and their family is continually in my prayers.  I just wanted to share their story in hopes that you might be able to help.  There is a fund raising page set up on their behalf.
