How to cook deliciously - Ham Casserole

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large pot of salted water, bring the potatoes, carrot, celery and water to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the vegetables, and set aside.

2. Stage

In a large skillet, saute the ham, green pepper and onion in 3 tablespoons butter until tender. Add the cooked potato mixture, and mix well. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-quart baking dish.

3. Stage

In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook and stir for two minutes or until thickened. Reduce the heat, add the cheddar cheese, and stir until melted.

4. Stage

Pour the cheesy mixture over the ham. Top it all off with a sprinkle of soft bread crumbs. Bake until heated through, 25 to 30 minutes. Editor's Tip: If the casserole starts to darken too much, cover it with aluminum foil.
