Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients (hard-boiled eggs, chipped ham, canned chicken soup, canned mixed vegetables, canned celery soup, pimento, salt, and pepper) together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a casserole dish.
- Top the casserole with the can of Hungry Jack biscuits.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until hot and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a cup of sour cream or cream cheese to the mixture. If you don't have chipped ham, diced ham or leftover cooked chicken can be great substitutes. Ensure the mixed vegetables are well-drained to prevent excess moisture. Seasoning can be adjusted based on personal taste, so feel free to add garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Ham Pie is a hearty dish that pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. You can also serve it alongside mashed potatoes or Helen'S Holly Taters for a comforting dinner. For a more festive touch, consider adding a fruit salad or a light dessert to round out the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover the casserole with foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, microwave individual portions until hot, stirring occasionally to heat evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Ham Pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare Ham Pie a day in advance. Assemble the casserole and cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate it overnight, then bake it straight from the fridge, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the cooking time to ensure it’s heated through.
What can I use instead of chicken soup?
If you don't have chicken soup, you can use cream of mushroom soup or a homemade white sauce as a substitute. This will still keep the dish creamy and delicious, while adding a different flavor profile that complements the ham.
Is there a vegetarian version of Ham Pie?
Absolutely! To make a vegetarian version, substitute the chipped ham with sautéed mushrooms or lentils, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken soup. You can also add extra vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor.
