Creamy Ham Casserole
4 1/2 cups uncooked medium egg noodles (I used 1 pkg instead)
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup fat-free milk
1 (10 3/4-oz) can condensed reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
2 cups (8oz) shredded, reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1 (6oz) tub light cream cheese with chives and onion, softened
2 cups chopped lean ham (I used turkey ham)
1 cup chopped carrot
Cooking spray
1 cup fat-free herb-flavored croutons, crushed
1. preheat oven to 350.
2. Cook noodles in 2 quarts boiling water for 2 minutes. Add broccoli; cook an additional 3 minutes. Drain.
3. Combine milk, soup, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, and cream cheese in a large bowl. Stir well with whisk. Add noodle mixture, ham, and carrot. Stir well. Divide into two (8") greased casserole dishes. (I only made one big one b/c I used less noodles.)
4. Combine remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese and crouton crumbs. Toss well. Sprinkle over casserole.
5. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
