Ham and Cheese Casserole

I love baked ham, but after a day or two I get sick of leftover ham sandwiches. This is a fantastic recipe for leftover ham that adds potatoes, carrots, and any other veggies of your choice. Eggs help bulk up the protein and make for a filling and tasty one dish meal.

Ingredients:

2 cups roasted or sautéed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions, …)

3. Sauté or roast 2 cups of vegetables and potatoes. Sprinkle with ranch seasoning. Cook until vegetables are just tender.
