Ingredients

  • 1/2 sweet onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
  • 2 cups chopped ham
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 batch uncooked biscuit

Method

  • Make your biscuits but don't bake them yet. (I use my recipe #182802).
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees, grease a 9 x 12 casserole or pyrex dish.
  • Make the biscuits and set them in the pan.
  • Saute onions, celery and oil.
  • Stir in flour and slightly brown, being careful not to burn.
  • Stir in milk a little at a time and add soup.
  • Bring to a boil, turn down heat and add the ham and lemon juice, stir.
  • Pour over the biscuits and bake about 30 minutes or until biscuits are done. (I put a jelly roll pan underneath in case it rises too much.).
  • Let casserole set for 5 minutes or so before serving.
