I ran across a recipe for a ham and veggie casserole with a little,white sauce with cheese on it. I n that case I would mimic the tasts of the sauce and make a cheese biscuit to go with. These would also taste good potato soup,or a salad with some meat in it.
I get a bag of ham cubes (about a 1/4 inch dice ) when I can find them. I used to get them cheap at grocery outlet. I got them the last time at QFC. They are not cheap at QFC, I watch for them. Winco has them cheaper if we get up there. H am is a strong taste and we can get several meals out of a 4 dollar or less bag...
