Leftover Ham and Cheese Pie

As planned, I served ham for Christmas dinner.  And, I had hoped to eat the leftover ham in sandwiches and such later that week. However, my refrigerator/freezer went out on Christmas day. Sigh. I had to scramble to borrow coolers and ice to keep the food from spoiling. So, the day after Christmas I was forced to cook a turkey and a roast, plus five pounds of other meat because I knew that it could not be refrozen until it was cooked.  Therefore, instead of eating up the leftover ham, we ate the turkey and the roast and put the ham into the freezer once it was fixed.

Although it was a lot of work to cook all of that meat at one time, I now have lots and lots of cooked meat in my freezer that makes dinner quick and simple. We love this Ham and Cheese Pie and it is a perfect recipe to use up leftover ham. And, of course I used my Homemade Baking Mix that I told you about yesterday.

Ham and Cheese Pie

2 cups cubed ham

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

4 eggs

2 cups milk

1 cup baking mix

Layer ham and cheese in the bottom of a large pie pan or 9X9 pan. In a bowl, stir together eggs, milk, and baking mix. Pour evenly over the ham and cheese. Bake at 400˚ for 35-40 minutes, or until golden.

Recipe Note: I halved this recipe in order to minimize leftovers. We ate every bite and it was the perfect amount for one adult and three kids. Frugal Kitchen Goal success!
