This is my leftover "Go To" after a large ham dinner. I have also used broccoli florets with this recipe, and I've used onions as well. We usually serve this with pesto bread, or honey butter rolls. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does....there's no leftovers when I make this!

Drain noodles and pour into a well greased or sprayed casserole dish. Mix in the butter and swirl around in the noodles to let them cool slightly.
Step 4

While allowing the noodles to cool, in a seperate bowl, add diced ham and corn. In a seperate small bowl, beat the egg and then incorporate it into the ham and corn mixture, mixing thoroughly. Once done mixing, add the ham mixture to the noodles and mix well.
