Ham casserole - As written this recipe has an insane amount of butter & cheese (aka: fat, cholesterol, & salt). So I made some pretty significant changes to this recipe. Everyone ate it without complaining.

1) boiled veggies for 8 minutes 

2) used unsalted butter

4) cooked veg and ham in 1 tbsp butter 

5) for sauce, 1 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp flour and 1 1/2 cup milk,  no cheese, no salt

6) offered shredded cheese has a topping.
