Ingredients

• 1 lb (approximately) Cooked ham steak
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 cups Mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and green beans, frozen or fresh)
• 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp Onion powder
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Place the cooked ham in a skillet over medium heat to warm through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Once heated, transfer it to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 2

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk continuously for about 1–2 minutes to create a smooth roux.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

Step 4

Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the sauce.

Step 5

Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce, cover with a lid, and cook for 7–10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Remove the lid and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow it to melt into the sauce, enhancing its flavor and richness.

Step 7

Slice the warm ham into serving portions and plate alongside the creamed vegetables. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh finish.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty and creamy dish!
