One Pot Ham and Noodle Casserole Recipe

This delicious one pot ham and noodle casserole is super simple to make and tastes scrumptious. Having leftover ham is something we enjoy because easy recipes like this family favorite ham casserole can be whipped up in a matter of minutes.

When I have leftover ham I always diced it up for future recipes. Even if the diced ham goes in the freezer, I still have it available for quick and tasty meals like this ham and noodle casserole.

With this leftover ham recipe, it can be on the table in about 30 minutes from start to finish. This is a super quick and easy one pot meal that is satisfying and filling. And, a delicious comfort food ham casserole recipe that can be made with the leftover ham from the holidays:  Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter.

Ham and Noodle Casserole Made Without Canned Soup

This easy pasta recipe is made without cream of mushroom soup, chicken soup or any canned soup. I do make quite a few recipes using canned soup but for this recipe we are using chicken broth, heavy cream and seasoning to make our creamy sauce. An easy weeknight meal that can be on the table in a manner of minutes.

Variations To Leftover Ham Casserole with Noodles

If you want to change up this delicious comfort food recipe it’s simple to do. Here are a few variations that can be made by basically using what you already might have on hand to use.

• Switch out the cheese: If you are not a fan of a little spice, you can use sharp cheddar, cheddar, swiss cheese and even mozzarella in place of Pepper Jack. And you can use only one type of cheese as well. Any cheese will work with this recipe.
• Type of pasta: This recipe can be made with any type of pasta. So whatever pasta you have in your pantry should work, like elbow macaroni, penne pasta, bow tie pasta, shells, etc.
• Chicken broth: I used chicken broth with this recipe but vegetable broth can be used if you do not have chicken broth. The flavor won’t change much at all.
• Not a fan of peas: If you are not a fan of peas, you can change it up a bit by adding broccoli florets or green beans and even corn.
