Deviled Egg & Ham Casserole

Deviled Egg & Ham Casserole

Adapted from a recipe in the Casserole Cook Book, page 34.
This recipe is from a cookbook titled Casserole Cook Book by Better Homes & Gardens, printed in 1961. I made this on 22 Aug 2021 for dinner with my parents. We loved this, excellent sauce, and the eggs really add to the overall taste of this casserole. The recipe was followed exactly with no changes made, and it was delicious! This will be a regular now. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
