One of my favorite cold weather meals, particularly when we’re in the middle of an official “snowmageddon,” is ham and green bean casserole. A quick Google search a few years back revealed this gem on Cooks.com.
1 med. onion, chopped fine
3 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 c. sour cream, light
1/2 c. chopped ham
1/2 c. pimiento cheese spread
2 (1 lb.) cans French green beans, drained
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Saute onion in butter, blend in flour, salt and pepper. Add sour cream and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Add beans, ham, pimiento cheese and pimientos. Turn into baking dish. Top with cheese, onion rings (yes, so you can snack out of the can while you make it) and cracker crumbs. Bake for 20 minutes. Serves 6.
This recipe is perfect if you have leftover ham after a holiday meal, or if you are a ham and green bean person like I am. Either way, bon appetit!
