jennythereaderI made a double batch of Ham Casserole, with a few changes, last night.
The biggest change I made was to replace the second onion that a normal double batch would need with the leftover scallions and garlic scapes from last week's farm share (I think it was about 6 of each). That worked really well, except that I think I need to pre-cook the garlic scapes a little longer. They were still pretty tough after cooking.
I added about a cup of diced green pepper, which blended well with all the other flavors.
I also tripled the horseradish instead of doubling it. You can't have too much horseradish in this casserole.
One change that didn't work was using "Clear Value" brand cream of mushroom soup. They're the cheapest brand Price Chopper sells, but the quality is noticably worse than even the store brand. I think I'm blaming it for the casserole being a little too salty for my taste.
