Zucchini and Ham Casserole

Each Summer we would go to our Great Aunt and Uncle's lake house in Michigan for a day visiting with cousins and family we don't get to see too often. We would always have lots of yummy food, but one of my most favorite dishes was this casserole. I always make it when I have leftover ham. It's so good. I took it to potluck dinner at church last night and brought home an empty dish - always a good sign!


Cook 4 c. diced zucchini for 7-8 minutes, drain.

While the zucchini is cooking - make a white sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 T. butter and add 1/2 onion finely chopped, after it sautes for a minute or two add in 3 T. of flour and stir to combine and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Add 3/4t. salt and whisk in 1 1/2 c. milk. Cook until thickened.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together, cooked zucchini, white sauce, 2 T. parsley, 2 1/2 c. cubed ham, 2 1/2 c. seasoned croutons and 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
