Nothing says summer supper like a nice ham casserole. This Easy Amish Ham Casserole is a delicious supper that is really easy to fix. And there is some flexibility here. You can make your own baked potatoes and blend them in, which is the route most Amish cooks would take, or you can take a short cut and use 4 cups of frozen hashed browns in its place.
As far as the cottage cheese goes, that is also something that most Amish cooks would probably use a homemade version. I've tried homemade cottage cheese in an Amish kitchen before and it's really good, not like the store-bought versions. At least the kinds I have tried have been less liquidy and more grainy than the store-bought counterparts.
By the way, there's only one brand of cottage cheese that I've ever tried and been in love with and that is the Trauth brand. Trauth was a small regional dairy in northern Kentucky, not sure if they even still make their cottage cheese. Trauth was bought by Dean Foods years ago.
So, anyway, Easy Amish Ham Casserole is a classic quick casserole packed with ham and eggs and it makes just as good of a breakfast as it does supper. Not sure how eggs became so ingrained as a "breakfast food", I enjoy scrambled eggs for supper as much as I do, if not more, as I do for breakfast.
This recipe has pretty basic ingredients, you can use fresh ham steaks, fresh cheese, etc, or just use the processed, prepackage store stuff.
Ultimate comfort food!
This pairs well with some greens like spinach if you are having supper, or it enjoy it with toast for breakfast.

This sounds good but I hate cottage cheese. However, I wonder if I could sub Ricotta cheese instead? I don't like greek yogurt or any of those subs but I'm Italian & I love Ricotta. I'll have to try that I let you know.
Let me know, Gail, I actually think that sounds like a great sub for cottage cheese!
You say 13x9 . Yet you show a loaf Pan?????? Recipe sounds great
Hi, Robin, good eye...you could use either, make it more of a "loaf meal" with the loaf pan or have more square cuts with a 13 X 9 pan..either will work
Hi Kevin,
Did I miss the printer for The Ham Casserole ?
All these recipes sound great. Good job
Thanks, Anne, I fixed the omission!
Actually, I have taken Cottage Cheese and whizzed it through the food processor - it looks like Ricotta Cheese and tasted great!
good to know!
