HAM & CHEESE CASSEROLES

Ham & Cheese Casseroles image

I got this recipe from my mother and love it because it's easy and I've usually got the ingredients on hand. It freezes well, so I can have an extra ham and cheese casserole handy for when guests show up. Everyone always likes it; there are never leftovers. -Jan Schoshke, Brookville, Kansas
