Ham Casserole
Stella Lincoln
It was one of my favorite meals when I was growing up. I thought it was my
Mother’s recipe. But I was just going through some old recipe
files and this popped up with my Grandmother, Stella Lincoln’s
name on it. It is
my Mom’s handwriting, though.
It’s still one of my favorites.

“Cook Ham slightly to brown in skillet. Remove ham
and sauté onions, then add stewed,
whole, tomatoes (I use diced) & drained can of
peas.—Bake

I remember my Mom making it in a heavy old iron skillet
and that’s how I do it. I’ve
been doing it from memory but this is pretty close.
Like so many of the old recipes, very few or no amounts
are given.
But, I use a two (or so) cups of chopped ham, a
medium yellow onion, chopped, a 15ish oz. can of stewed tomatoes
and the same size can of peas.
My
Mom cut the ham in pieces about 2 x 3 inches. I cut them smaller
because I’m lazy and don’t want to cut them while I’m eating.
