Ham and Swiss Lasagna image

This is something we like to make after having a holiday ham. If we feel "all hammed out..." then we prepare the ham for the recipe and freeze it for the Super Bowl party. (One less thing to do for the party). We enjoy having non traditional foods... keeps life interesting and fun! This is comfort food... not for...

Number Of Ingredients 13

SAUCE:
5 Tbsp butter
3 c milk
2 c chicken broth
3 - 4 Tbsp (to taste) dijon mustard
(to taste) salt and pepper
1/2 c mozzarella cheese (shredded)
3 - 4 Tbsp corn starch (mixed with enough water to make a batter consistency)

When thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
  • 3. Prepare all ingredients for assembly. Ladle about 3/4 of a cup of the sauce into a 9x13 inch lasagna pan. Put a layer of noodles over the sauce, press down to allow extra sauce to come up through the noodles and add a little more sauce to cover the noodles.
  • 4. Generously sprinkle the cut up ham over the sauce. Sprinkle with some Swiss cheese. Add another layer of noodles. Add some sauce over the noodles. Put the well drained mixed vegetables over the noodles and sauce.
