Cheesy Ham Bake

My family loved this simple easy meal, even my very picky son! Since my son is graduating from high school this year and he likes it so well it will be part of our open house buffet. It's also inexpensive to make. The only changes I would make would be to add at least twice the salt and pepper. I'm not one to use a lot of salt, but everyone was adding salt and pepper. The second time I made it I doubled both and they were all still adding. Otherwise it's great. Thanks!
