Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Last week my in-laws were kind enough to send home some of our Easter ham with me.  I had several ideas of what I wanted to do with it.  I was having a hard time deciding on the 'one' until I saw this recipe at One Crazy Cookie.  My husband absolutely loved this!  It was so creamy and the ham was wonderful!  I don't think anyone in my house would complain if we made it with all ham and no chicken.  Another bonus, Tiffanee said that this freezes well!  So I made a double batch and have one in the freezer for when my little girl comes in July :)

2. Place hashbrowns in a greased 9 x 13 pan.

3. Layer the chicken and ham on top.

4. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded swiss cheese on top. 

5. In a separate bowl, combine soup, cream cheese, milk and pepper.

6. Drop the soup mixture on top and spread around until it covers the dish.
