Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, Cheddar cheese soup, 1 cup of milk, ham, and onion powder in an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Mix the Bisquick baking mix with 1 cup of milk until smooth.
- Pour the baking mix evenly over the soup mixture in the pan.
- Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit of sour cream or cream cheese to the mixture. If you don't have Bisquick, you can substitute with equal parts all-purpose flour and baking powder. You can also use fresh broccoli instead of frozen, just blanch it for a few minutes before adding. To reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium soups.
Serving Suggestions
This One-Dish Ham Bake pairs beautifully with a light salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal. Consider serving it alongside Long Grain And Wild Rice-A-Roni for a hearty side that complements the dish. A sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving adds a touch of color and freshness.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through for even heating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the cooked ham with cooked chicken or turkey for a different flavor. Alternatively, for a vegetarian option, consider using a mix of beans or chickpeas to maintain protein content while keeping it meat-free.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the dish a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if you bake it straight from the fridge.
What can I do if I don't have cream of mushroom soup?
If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can make a homemade version by mixing equal parts of milk and flour with sautéed mushrooms, or substitute with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup, depending on your preference.
