Cordon Bleu Casserole

I've had my eye on this recipe for probably a few years now.  I have no idea why I didn't try it until this weekend, but it was a success.  The few times I've made chicken cordon bleu, it's been a big hit in our household...so when I saw this recipe I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.  Plus, can you really go wrong with ham and chicken?  I think not.

Cordon Bleu Casserole
(from Taste of Home Casseroles, Slow Cooker & Soup)

2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
4 cups cubed cooked turkey (I used chicken)
1 cup (4 oz) shredded swiss cheese
1 large onion
1/3 cup butter, cubed
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp ground mustard
1/3 tsp ground nutmeg
1 3/4 cup milk
Topping:
1 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted

In a large nonstick skillet, saute ham for 4-5 minutes or until browned; drain and pat dry.  Meanwhile, in a greased 2 qt. baking dish, layer the turkey, cheese and ham; set aside.

In a large saucepan, saute the onion in butter until tender.  Stir in the flour, mustard, and nutmeg until blended.  Gradually stir in milk.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Pour over ham.

Chicken, ham, and swiss cheese

 Onions and butter.  I love the smell of it cooking

 The topping on, ready for the oven

Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over the top.  Bake, uncovered, at 350  for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Steve thinks there may have been just a little too much topping, but other than that it was a keeper!  I hope you like it, too!

Happy cooking!
