Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cream of celery soup, sour cream, and mustard in a bowl to create the sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine half of the soup mixture, rice, dried onion, eggs, and flour; mix well.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture onto each slice of ham.
- Roll up the ham slices and place them seam side down in a baking dish.
- Spread the remaining soup mixture over the rolls.
- Sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme in the rice mixture. If you don't have cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom is a great substitute. You can also use brown rice instead of Minute rice, but adjust the cooking time accordingly. This dish is versatile and can be customized with different meats or vegetables, just like the Ham And Cheese Stuffed Potatoes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Ham And Spinach Rolls with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Hidden Valley Green Pea Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier option, consider serving them alongside mashed potatoes or a light pasta dish. A drizzle of extra mustard sauce can enhance the flavors even more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the rolls the day before and store them in the refrigerator. Just cover the baking dish with plastic wrap. When you're ready to bake, remove the wrap and add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure they are heated thoroughly.
What can I substitute for cottage cheese?
If you're looking for a substitute for cottage cheese, ricotta cheese works well and will provide a similar texture. For a lower-fat option, you can also use Greek yogurt, which will add creaminess and a bit of tang to the dish.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when the top is bubbly and golden brown, usually after about 30 minutes in a 350°F (175°C) oven. You can also check the internal temperature; it should reach at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
