Here's a fun an different use for ham. It's unexpected combined with the manicotti, yet delicious. The creamy cheese sauce makes this casserole perfect for chilly days. I'm always asked for the recipe whenever I serve it. —Dorothy Anderson, Ottawa, Kansas

I made this for a ladies Christmas luncheon. Oh Em Gee!!! Everyone loved it, there were no leftovers. It's just excellent!!!!

Really tasty. The white sauce is not a cheese sauce as described - but does balance out the salty ham. I used a bit of cream in place of the milk because I had some to use up, and also added a pinch of salt to the white sauce. I'd make this for company!

Really was so much better than I thought, I tweaked it a bit and cut the green pepper in thin strips instead of dicing so that my husband could pick it out since he's not a fan and I substituted half of the milk for heavy whipping cream because I had some left over on hand. Let me say that it made a really great sauce! I took leftovers to work and everyone was curious and thought I was such a gourmet, I will definately make again!

Wonderful change from the heavy Cheese or Spinach recipes out there. I used more fresh mushrooms than the recipe called for. I also used Fontina Cheese instead of the swiss, it was what I had on hand. Will definitely make this again, and try it with the Swiss cheese.

add asparagus instead of mushrooms?
