Light(Er) Ham and Broccoli Casserole image

I found this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up leftover ham and lots of broccoli in one fell swoop. Delicious, quick, and optionally healthy, this makes an appearance about once a month in our house. Adapted from About.com's Southern Food site, originally written by Diana Rattray.
