Perfect for busy weeknight dinners or potluck gatherings, this dish is easy to assemble using pantry staples. It delivers a satisfying, savory flavor profile that appeals to both adults and children, making it a reliable favorite for family meals.

  5. Saut until the ham is browned and the onion is tender.

  7. Transfer the ham mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. In a small pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of margarine.
  9. Add 2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs, 1/2 small minced clove of garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  10. Toast the crumb mixture until lightly browned.
  11. Sprinkle the toasted crumb topping evenly over the ham mixture.
  12. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.
