Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen baby lima beans, thawed
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped extra-lean ham (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 (14 3/4-ounce) can no-salt-added cream-style corn
  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 6 tablespoons skim milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 3/4 cup low-fat biscuit and baking mix

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add lima beans, bell pepper, and onion; cover and cook 5 minutes. Drain. Combine lima bean mixture, ham, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and corn in a bowl; stir well. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 400° for 20 minutes.

Combine milk and green onions in a bowl, and stir in baking mix. Drop batter by spoonfuls onto ham mixture to form 6 biscuits. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden.

Note: You can also assemble the casserole ahead of time, omitting the biscuit topping; cover and chill in refrigerator or freeze (thaw the frozen casserole overnight in the refrigerator). Let the casserole stand at room temperature 30 minutes; add the biscuit topping, and bake as directed.
