A creamy ham and mushroom skillet dish with savory flavors, perfect for a quick family meal or comforting dinner, combining hearty ham, peas, and mushroom sauce.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large skillet, blend the soup mix with milk.
- Bring to boiling point, then simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed cooked ham and cooked peas, then heat through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions or garlic while blending the soup mix with milk. You can substitute the ham with turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you don’t have Lipton soup mix, any creamy mushroom soup will work. To enhance the dish, sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty dish alongside a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Pam'S Potatoes for a comforting dinner. For a lighter option, consider serving it over a bed of rice or quinoa. A slice of crusty bread also complements the flavors well.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk if the sauce has thickened too much. Avoid using the microwave, as it can lead to uneven heating and affect the texture.
