Ham Rice Cheese Casserole Recipes

HAM CASSEROLE WITH BROCCOLI AND RICE

Steps:

• Note: This recipe is designed to allow you to prepare all of the casserole ingredients in one pot before transferring to a casserole dish for baking. Before you begin, refer to your rice package for the amount of liquid (we'll use chicken broth) and cooking time. If preferred, cook the rice separately and skip the broth ingredient. You'll need 3 + 3/4 cups of cooked rice to combine with the other casserole ingredients. I use white long grain rice and the cooking times below work perfectly.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt the 2 Tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the diced onions and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
• Add the chicken broth, olive oil, and rice to the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
• Cover tightly and cook for 7 minutes.
• Add the broccoli, replace the cover, cook for 8 more minutes. Refrain from stirring.
• Turn off heat, leave the cover on. Let the rice stand for 10 minutes. Any rice on the bottom of the pot will release during this time.
• Add the diced ham, condensed soup, sour cream, milk, and ONE cup of the cheddar cheese. Stir until well-combined.
• Spread into a lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.
• Top with remaining cup of cheddar cheese.
• Cover and bake for 15 minutes.
• Combine the Ritz cracker crumbs and butter. Spread over the top of the casserole and bake, uncovered, for 10 additional minutes.
• Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes prior to serving.

BAKED HAM AND CHEESE RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Fill a pot with 3 qts of water and bring to a boil; add rice and stir well.
• Cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is cooked but still firm to the bite.
• Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl. Toss the rice with a bit of butter to prevent grains from sticking together.
• While the rice is cooking, make a bechamel sauce. Heat the milk till you can see steam rising (do not boil). Melt the 4 T butter in a heavy saucepan over medium low heat.
• Add the flour and whisk till smooth. Add the hot milk a few tablespoons at a time at first, whisking till mixture is smooth before adding more milk.
• It will likely be very thick at first, but will become thinner as you whisk in more milk. As it thins, you can mix in more milk at a time.
• Cook, whisking constantly over medium low heat till sauce thickly coats the whisk. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
• Pour the bechamel sauce over the rice, reserving a few spoonfuls for the top of the casserole. Add the ham and all but 2 T of the parmigiano-reggiano.
• Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Butter the bottom and sides of a 2 1/2 qt baking dish that is about 3 1/2 inches deep.
• Pour in half the rice mixture. Slice the mozzarella about 1/8 inch thick and layer the slices over the rice.
• Add the remaining rice mixture and smooth the surface with a spoon.
• Spread the remaining bechamel over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 2 T parmegiano-reggiano.
• Bake for 15 minutes. If after 15 minutes, the top is not speckled with brown, place the casserole under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or till top begins to brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to settle for about 5 minutes before serving.
