I’ve been in the mood for a classic, homestyle, casserole and this recipe really fits the bill. This easy weeknight dinner features broccoli and ham mixed up with a flavorful cream sauce composed of cream cheese, mayo, and full-fat Greek yogurt. If you prefer, you can substitute sour cream for the yogurt.
If you make a ham for a holiday celebration, this is the perfect way to use up some of those leftovers. A shredded rotisserie chicken would be a great budget option for this recipe as well. Either way, your stomach will be rumbling when you smell this coming out of the oven. If you need an additional side, try serving with some cauliflower rice.
