Recipe: Cheesy Ham and Banana Casserole

Hi Judy:-) Here is the recipe but I have not tried it. People who did try it gave it very mixed reviews. To be honest, it just sounds too wacky for me to give it a try but everyone has different taste buds so what works for some might not work for others.

CHEESY HAM AND BANANA CASSEROLE

Butter
12 slices white bread
8 large slices deli ham
4 bananas, sliced on the bias
2 cups shredded Cheddar
2 cups crushed potato chips
6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13 glass baking dish.

Butter both sides of the bread and layer 6 of them into the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping them as necessary but keep them even. Layer the slices of ham on top of the bread and then the bananas, 6 more slices of bread, then the cheese, potato chips, and bacon.

In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pour this over the casserole almost to the top.

Bake for 45 minutes until brown and bubbly. Cut into squares and remove with a spatula, like lasagna.
