A quick and easy casserole that can be made in a large batch, making multiple casseroles at once, and freeze the ones you are not using on the day. Meal prep for the days when you need some backup and when preparing a dinner is not your first priority. 
Just half bake (take out of the oven after 30 minutes or so) the casseroles you are freezing, cool them off completely, label them and put into a freezer. When you are ready to use the frozen casserole, take it out of the freezer the night before into the fridge to defrost, and the following day, bake it for about 45 minutes until bubbling. 

FOUR CHEESE HAM CASSEROLE

  • 1 lb / 500 g Potatoes, peeled and cut julienne or the "matchstick cut"
  • 4 oz / 100 g Carrots, peeled and cut julienne or the "matchstick cut"
  • 1/2 Leeks, thinly slices
  • 1 Onion,  chopped fine
  • 4 oz / 100 g Rutabaga, peeled and cut julienne or the "matchstick cut"
  • 2 cups of Ham, cut julienne
  • 4 oz / 100 g Parsnip, peeled and cut julienne or the "matchstick cut"
