As a stay-at-home parent, I often find myself looking for creative ways to make a meal that my family will enjoy.

This hearty, flavorful dish is perfect for busy nights when you need a quick meal that is also satisfying and nutritious. The combination of ham, peas, and rice is a classic comfort food that everyone in the family can appreciate. It’s also incredibly easy to make: all you need are some basic ingredients, an oven or stovetop, and a few minutes of your time.

To begin, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients: 1 cup of cooked white rice (leftover rice works great for this recipe!), 1 ½ cups of diced ham, 1 cup of frozen peas, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, salt and pepper to taste.

Once you have all your ingredients ready to go, it’s time to start cooking! Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and spraying a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced ham. Cook until the ham is lightly browned and then add the garlic powder and onion powder. Stir to combine and then add the frozen peas. Cook until the peas are tender, about 3 minutes or so. Add the cooked white rice to the skillet and stir everything together until combined. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until heated through – be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn! Serve warm topped with extra salt and pepper as desired.
