Ham & Cheese Casserole Bread

After hosting Easter, I had a lot of leftover ham, so I was happy to find this recipe in Mom's recipe box as a great way to use some of those leftovers. The bread is very flavorful, but also very simple to make--just mix everything together and bake it in a dish. I brought some of the bread to Mom's for a standard Saturday night. Mom, Meg and Tim really liked the bread, so I was happy to share it with them.

I did not have biscuit mix on hand, instead, I used two cups of flour, one tablespoon of baking powder and four tablespoons of melted butter. While this was a good use of leftover ham, it would also be good with leftover bacon or sausage. I also really like sesame seed, and I would consider mixing in some sesame seeds into the dough, in addition to adding some on top.
