BAKED HAM AND CHEESE RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Fill a pot with 3 qts of water and bring to a boil; add rice and stir well.
• Cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is cooked but still firm to the bite.
• Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl. Toss the rice with a bit of butter to prevent grains from sticking together.
• While the rice is cooking, make a bechamel sauce. Heat the milk till you can see steam rising (do not boil). Melt the 4 T butter in a heavy saucepan over medium low heat.
• Add the flour and whisk till smooth. Add the hot milk a few tablespoons at a time at first, whisking till mixture is smooth before adding more milk.
• It will likely be very thick at first, but will become thinner as you whisk in more milk. As it thins, you can mix in more milk at a time.
• Cook, whisking constantly over medium low heat till sauce thickly coats the whisk. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
• Pour the bechamel sauce over the rice, reserving a few spoonfuls for the top of the casserole. Add the ham and all but 2 T of the parmigiano-reggiano.
• Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Butter the bottom and sides of a 2 1/2 qt baking dish that is about 3 1/2 inches deep.
• Pour in half the rice mixture. Slice the mozzarella about 1/8 inch thick and layer the slices over the rice.
• Add the remaining rice mixture and smooth the surface with a spoon.
• Spread the remaining bechamel over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 2 T parmegiano-reggiano.
• Bake for 15 minutes. If after 15 minutes, the top is not speckled with brown, place the casserole under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or till top begins to brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to settle for about 5 minutes before serving.

KETO HAM AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking or casserole dish by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
• Chop and steam both the broccoli and cauliflower separately. You can do this anyway you wish. I like to use microwave steamer pot. But you can do it with boiling water or even use frozen. No matter which way you do it, make sure to drain off any excess liquid as that will make the casserole watery.
• Add the cooked cauliflower, cream cheese and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese to a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick add a tablespoon of 2 of water. It should be thick and creamy though.
• Add the ham and broccoli to a baking pan then mix it with the cream sauce. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until browned well on the top.

• While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms, onion, carrots, green pepper, and garlic until tender and browned, about 10 minutes.
• Mix white wine, soy sauce, dry mustard, and curry powder into the vegetables. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer until liquid is reduced, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine ham, cream of mushroom soup, and cooked rice with the vegetables. Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish.
