This is something I did one night when I had a bunch of leftovers that turned into one of my favorite comfort foods. You could switch out just about anything for anything of a similar type, chicken for the ham, different soups, etc. Make it as is or use your imagination.

Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
This chicken pot pie casserole comes together very quickly when you use cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, and prepared dough. It's rich, delicious, and full of flavor thanks to the parsley and thyme. The dough spirals on top make it look super fancy and fun!
Easy Slow Cooker Stroganoff
Was in a hurry one day and threw this all together in the slow cooker. When I got home I was so surprised because it tastes like beef stroganoff made the hard way. So much simpler. I love this on a big piece of butter bread like an open-faced stroganoff sandwich.
