Just made this like 30 minutes ago, and it's DELICIOUS! I love it soooo much. You can't tell it's low fat at all.

Ingredients:
- 1 (5-1/2 ounce) box au gratin potatoes - Do not make as directed on box.
- 1 (12 ounce) can of fat-free evaporated milk
- 1-1/2 cups hot water
- 12 ounces extra lean ham or turkey ham, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen broccoli pieces

1. In a 2-quart, microwavable, casserole dish, mix the potatoes and seasoning cheese packet from the box with the milk and water until the powdered cheese is completely dissolved.
2. Stir in the ham pieces.
3. Cover with wax paper. Cook in a carousel* microwave on high for 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the broccoli pieces. Cover (with wax paper) and continue cooking in the carousel microwave on high for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove the wax paper and let casserole sit for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

*Note: If you do not have a carousel microwave, turn the dish a quarter turn every 2 minutes.

I made this with 8 ounces of extra lean ham instead of 12 because I could only find an 8 ounce package of diced ham. Heres the nutritional information I got:

Servings: 4 (Estimating 2 generous cups per serving)
