Move over chicken or turkey tetrazzini...Ham Tetrazzini is the best! Trust me, this recipe is a game changer! Plus it is a perfect casserole for leftover ham or for a ham steak.
The ham pairs perfectly with the cheesy, creamy sauce, peas and pasta! These flavors go so well together! Plus it is an inexpensive meal that will feed a large crew! This ham tetrazzini is now my favorite! You will love it too!
