Alright, obviously December has gotten the best of me and the blogging is falling behind. I love the busy-ness of December, but it seems like each year is crazier than the last! Crazy in a good way, of course ;) But never fear - just eat some of this awesomeness and it will calm you right down and put you in your happy place. This is an old family recipe that sounds kind of strange, but trust me, it's comfort food at it's best!!
For this recipe, you'll need:
- 3 cans cut green beans
- 2 cups grated sharp cheddar
- 2 cups (or more/less) cubed ham
- 3 tbs butter
- 3 tbs flour
- 2 1/4 cups milk
Melt butter and flour in saucepan, making a roux
Stir in milk all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook one minute more. You really have to watch this so as not to burn it. I always come so close to burning it, so this is my advice from experience :)
Over low heat, stir in shredded cheese until melted
Add (drained) green beans and ham. Continue to cook and stir until all heated through.
For those of you who haven't had this before, I know it looks a little strange, huh?? But trust me - it's SO yummy!! We usually eat this with cornbread, but we didn't have cornbread so I decided to change it up - I think I may have started a new tradition...
Because ham & green bean savory with BISCUITS was absolutely AWESOME!! Biscuit recipe coming SOON! Enjoy!!
