This recipe is so good and it’s pretty easy to make as well. We usually like to use chicken thighs but chicken breast would work just fine. You can also bake the chicken and keep the creamed spinach on the side if you have picky eaters.
This is a recipe I’ve had since my high school home economics class. It was always a hit with my younger brothers and sisters as pizza was a rare treat for us when we were growing up and being able to make it at home was a blessing!
Homemade pizzas are always so much fun because everyone can make their pizza the way they like it… yay! If you don’t care for the tomato sauce you could probably give this a try with some Easy Alfredo Sauce. My kids like to eat their pizza with some homemade ranch dressing.
This is one of those recipes that takes me a little bit longer to put together so we don’t have it as often as some of the other recipes. It is also a bit more expensive to make so it is a treat when we do have it.

Preheat your oven to 350.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine and whisk in the flour until well combined.
Slowly add the chicken broth making sure to stir well.

Place the ham slices in a layer over the chicken.

Spread the sauce over the cheese.

Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the topping has browned.
I love how easy this recipe is and the crust is so good. I have to be careful or I could eat all of the crust of the bread by myself! This is a recipe that I haven’t made in a while but when I went for a spell without going to the grocery store I had to use up what I found in the kitchen to make up a couple of quick meals. I made up a batch of Boston Baked Beans and wanted some fresh bread to go with it.
I had seen a bottle of beer in the fridge and had no idea where it came from or who it belonged too. After a week or so I just guessed it must’ve been something forgotten by a guest. I dug through some old recipes and found this recipe. It smelled so good when it was baking and it tasted even better.
You could play around with the ingredients to make it different flavors and such. I’d say that different beers would probably give it different flavors too but I have not experimented with that. Continue reading “Beer Bread”
Now I do confess that in years past I used boxed macaroni and cheese a lot because:
However, I did try to make this recipe every so often and on special occasions and/or holidays. You can add a little ham or meat to make this a hearty main dish!
Things have changed over the years and we rarely buy the boxed stuff anymore at all. We’ve even adapted this for our low-carb eating and that recipe is below.
