    This Ham Cheese and Rice Skillet Recipe is really good. There is just something so ridiculously easy about cooking with rice and broth over the stove - and you can easily substitute chicken or turkey for the ham in this recipe if that is all you have in the kitchen!

    This is such a great recipe to make after holidays, or when you want to use up some random things leftover in your fridge at the end of the week!

    While this recipe is more a side dish, if you want to double the rice the rice and broth, this Ham Cheese and Rice Skillet Recipe will serve more as a meal. As-is, this is more like a side dish for a family of 4. 

    The rice is the "standard" rice that takes 15 minutes to cook vs instant rice that cooks in 5.

    I was so happy with the Broccoli Ham Casserole Recipe that I shared with you guys last month - I mean, it came out really yummy! So, I wanted to share more casserole style meals.

    With everyone running out of groceries, stores being out of stock for so many items - oh, we are talking about staples like eggs, butter, meats, etc - not just toilet paper and disinfecting wipes! - and let us be honest as well, many people are struggling financially and food resources are limited...it's time to go through our pantries or kitchen cabinets and get creative at mealtime!

    Can You Use Canned Ham in this recipe?

    Of course you can use canned ham - I know that many of us are really struggling to find the cuts of meat we preferred in our -pre CoronaVirus times, and we gotta do what we gotta do!

    You can use canned ham, but I would not recommend it. While it is definitely easy, canned ham is super salty, and ham is salty enough as it is.

    I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

    Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
