Norwegian Ham Casserole
My husband’s aunt has told us that the family is somehow Scandinavian, but I’m not sure where the connection comes from. Last time we visited with her she gave us this delightful cookbook from her local Scandinavian woman’s group. I thought it would be fun to try out a few recipes and gave this Norwegian Ham Casserole a try earlier this fall. I had low expectations and was not sure what to expect as you’ll see the ingredient list is very basic. However, we were all pleasantly surprised at how tasty this casserole turned out. My husband asked that I put it into our regular rotation for later this winter.
