"This is a recipe from my first Betty Crocker cookbook (1972 version), that I still use and love. It's pure comfort food. The ham is my own addition and I sometimes add cheese. Feel free to adapt it to your own family's tastes."

Except for adding a little cheese to the sauce, I made this as written. We lobed the added ham it was such a delicious change. Served as a side last night the family really loved this.

"Pure comfort food" really does describe this dish. My hubby has been on the road so much lately, eating out, and he was overjoyed to eat this - home cooking at its best. I made 1 1/2 recipes and baked it in my 9x13 pan. I am guessing that cheese would be great however it is wonderful in the buttery, onion-scented white sauce. Served with green beans it made for a wonderful fall dinner. Thanks Deely.
