Thats where I got the idea for my lunch today from your post yesterday! Thanks. I was in a huge rush last night but did not have time to make my lunches for the week on Sunday either. So remembering something like green bean ham casserole, I kinda winged one together and it was great.

In a round ziplock container I put 4 oz of ham cubes, some green beans, a TBSP of low sodium cream of mushroom soup, some slivered almonds, and some sharp cheddar. It was really good.

Glad to hear it.  Its a nice combo.  Here's my recipe if you are interested.  I found it on the internet.  The celery and onion add a little crunch which is nice.

CHEESY HAM AND GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Ingredients:

1 small onion, sliced very thin, 2.5 ounces
1/4 cup celery, finely diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 -14 ounce cans French-cut green beans, drained well
4 ounce can mushrooms, drained well
12 ounces ham, diced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces pepper-jack, cheddar or Swiss cheese, shredded

Directions:

1. Sauté the onion and celery in butter until very tender and a little browned.

2. In a 2-quart greased casserole, mix the green beans, mushrooms, ham, mayonnaise and seasonings.

3. Stir in the onion mixture, then top with the cheese.

4. Bake, uncovered, at 350º 30 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.

Thanks, I am going to repost this as the recipe of the day today!
