Ingredients
- Frozen mixed vegetables: A frozen blend of assorted vegetables, typically peas, carrots, corn, and green beans. Alternatively, you can make your own mix with the frozen veggies you have on hand.
- Cooked ham, diced: Diced (or cubed) pieces of pre-cooked ham. Leftover ham is perfect for this ham casserole recipe, but you can also find pre-cooked ham in the refrigerated meat section near bacon and lunch meats. Ham steak, cubed ham, or diced ham are what you're looking for.
- Condensed cream of mushroom soup: A thick and creamy soup made with mushrooms, used to create a rich and savory base for the casserole.
- Sour cream: Adds a tangy flavor and a creamy texture to the creamy ham filling.
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese: This adds a sharp and cheesy taste.
- Monterey Jack cheese: This is a mild cheese the melts very well for a smooth texture.
- Onion powder: For a hint of onion flavor.
- Ground black pepper: To enhance the flavors of the dish.
- Bisquick: Bisquick is a pre-made baking mix that creates a bread or biscuit-like topping for the casserole.
- Milk: Whole milk to mix with the Bisquick and add moisture.
- Large egg: A binding agent for the structure of the top layer.
- Vegetable oil: Adds moisture to the Bisquick.
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Grease an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mixed vegetables, cubed ham, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheese, onion powder, and pepper.
Spread the ham and veggie mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick, milk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Pour the Bisquick mixture evenly over the ham and veggie mixture, gently spreading it from edge to edge.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the Bisquick layer comes out clean. If it becomes too brown before the Bisquick layer is done cooking, cover the top of the casserole in aluminum foil.
Substitutions
- Frozen mixed vegetables: Substitute with your preferred blend of frozen veggies. For example, frozen peas and carrots are perfect for this casserole. You can also use canned veggies.
- Cooked ham: Replace with cooked turkey or chicken for a different flavor profile.
- Condensed cream of mushroom soup: Use your favorite "cream of" soup such as cream of chicken soup, cream of potato soup, or cream of celery soup. You can even use condensed cheddar cheese soup.
- Sour cream: Replace the sour cream with milk (this will result in a thinner sauce) or use Greek yogurt.
- Cheese: Use shredded Gruyère, Swiss cheese, smoked Gouda, pepper jack cheese, Colby Jack, provolone, or mozzarella. All of these are great options for a cheesy ham casserole.
- Onion powder: Substitute with garlic powder or omit.
- Bisquick: Make a homemade baking mix using flour, baking powder, salt, and a little butter or vegetable shortening as an alternative. Otherwise, you can use any brand of baking mix like Pearl Milling Company.
- Milk: Whole milk will add the most moisture because of the fat content, but low-fat milk or skim milk will also work in this recipe.
- Vegetable oil: Canola oil is a great substitute for vegetable oil. Olive oil will work but it is not my top recommendation.
Variations
Stuffing casserole: Replace the Bisquick layer with a prepared box of stuffing. See this easy chicken stuffing casserole for inspiration.
Cornbread casserole: Replace the Bisquick layer with a prepared box of cornbread (1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, ⅓ cup milk, and 1 large egg). See this Mexican cornbread casserole for inspiration.
Biscuit casserole: Use kitchen scissors to cut up refrigerated biscuit dough into small pieces and evenly cover the top of the casserole. Bake until the biscuit pieces are golden and cooked through.
