Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Cooked ham
- 6 cups Stuffing mix
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large (diced) Yellow onion
- 2 (diced) Celery stalks
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 1 as needed (for greasing the baking dish) Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix and chicken broth. Stir until the stuffing mix has absorbed the liquid.
Add the sautéed onion and celery, diced ham, garlic powder, and black pepper to the stuffing mixture. Mix well.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk and cream of mushroom soup until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the stuffing mixture and gently stir to combine.
Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the stuffing mixture until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle the dried parsley over the top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
