Ham and tofu casserole

I begin to appreciate casserole when it turns out so tasty. Tastiness is the trick to get people to eat vegetables. Here is one recipe I tried with tofu and meat from a big leftover ham. The taste of this dish comes mainly from the ham, the croutons and the cream of chicken soup. The other ingredients absorb the flavors and provide a rich texture. In this recipe, the proportion of ham+tofu to broccoli is actually 1:1. The tofu will give out water, which cooks the broccoli while it is boiling in the pan. Broccoli cooks really fast in water, so this is a quick dish. 


Recipe: Ham and tofu casserole (make 1 full 10"x10" pan)


Ingredients:
- 8 oz cooked smoked ham, cut to 1/2" pieces
- 1/2 package of tofu, cut to 1" cubes
- 3/4 head of broccoli, using only the flower part, cut to 1/2" pieces
- 1/3 cup croutons with italian seasoning
- 1 can of cream of chicken, healthy request
- 1/4 cup evaporated whole milk


Procedure:
Mix broccoli, ham and tofu in a 10"x10" glass pan. Sprinkle croutons on top and mix lightly. Spread cream of chicken on top to cover all the ingredients. Then add evaporated milk. Mix lightly. Cover and bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes or until the liquid in the bottom of the pan start boiling. The cream at the side of the pan should not be browned, else it is already overcooked. Serve hot.
