Ham Green Bean Casserole DELUX!



I looked in the fridge wondering what the heck to make for dinner.  I had fresh green beans that needed to be cooked (I like to bake them but didn't have that much time) a cooked ham steak and some muenster cheese.  Rather than just having boring ham and some green beans on the side as well as being short on time I decided to do the following and it turned out FABULOUS!!!! Not too sure how "healthy" this is but man was it GOOD and FAST!

2lbs fresh green beans
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (optional, use heavy cream as substitute)
1 onion chopped
1 package mushrooms cut them in half
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp rosemary
1 cup cheddar cheese
3-4 cups cooked diced ham
8-10 slices muenster cheese

Pre-heat oven to 400

In a large pot steam green beans (try to keep the beans all in the same direction so it's easier to place them in the dish making it easier to serve, see picture).  In a LARGE baking dish add cooked diced ham, chopped onion, garlic, rosemary, soup and mushrooms. Mix all together and spread evenly to cover the bottom of dish.  Top with cheddar cheese.  Once green beans are slightly tender (about the time you are done adding everything to dish 10-15 min) place them down the center of the dish.  Pile them high, all facing the same direction.  Place muenster cheese on top of green beans layering the cheese.  Bake until cheese is golden.  Everything is already cooked so this should only take about 10-15 min! Total time for this meal I'd say is 30 minutes! Can't beat that! I will have a picture of the beans in the dish the next time I make this... which should be pretty soon wink wink!
