This casserole is a delicious way to use some leftover ham from Easter. A homemade cheese sauce is made with flour, milk, salt, pepper and cheddar cheese. Then cooked orzo, chopped broccoli, spinach and cubed ham are stirred into the sauce. Next everything is transferred to a casserole dish before being topped with French fried onions and more cheese. The casserole is baked until bubbly.
