1 (10 1/2-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups cooked green beans
3 cups bite-sized cubes glazed ham
CROUTONS
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups 1/2 inch cubes bread from hollowed out bread bowls
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 to 1 3/4 pound Bread Bowl

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 11/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray, and set aside.

2. Combine the soup, milk, and pepper in a medium bowl, add the beans, and transfer to the casserole dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly bubbling.

3. While the beans bake, prepare the croutons. Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until it foams (do not burn). Add the bread cubes and toss to coat. Arrange the cubes on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with onion and curry powder. Place in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring the cubes a few times as they bake. Remove when they are brown on the outside, but soft on the inside.

4. Place half the ham on the bottom of the bread bowl, and top with half the green beans. Repeat the layers and top with croutons.

5. Wrap the bowl with aluminum foil, leaving the top uncovered. Place the bowl on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven, and bake for 12 minutes or until the filling is heated through. Carefully remove the foil and continue to bake another 3 minutes. Serve hot.
