Cordon Bleu Casserole

What is nice about this casserole is that I can use leftovers. We somehow always have leftover turkey and ham lurking in the freezer. This was a tasty way to use them up.

Cordon Bleu Casserole

2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
4 cups cubed cooked turkey
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 large onion, chopped
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1/8 tsp ground mustard
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 3/4 cups milk

Topping:
1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted

In a nonstick skillet, saute ham for 4-5 minutes on until browned; drain and pat dry. In a greased 2 qt. baking dish layer the turkey, cheese and ham, set aside.

In a saucepan, saute the onion in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, mustard, and nutmeg until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over ham and turkey. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over the top. Bake uncovered at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Serves 6



I used a 2 quart round dish for this and we both agreed it would have been a lot better in a 13x9 pan. It was still very tasty. I did not have any bread to make soft breadcrumbs with so I used regular store bought ones. Not the same.
