About

MeMaw's Cheesy Ham & Rice appears simple, almost like a side dish. But oh, you have no idea what Memaw can make! For behind its humble appearance, MeMaw's Cheesy Ham & Rice hides a depth of savory, main course flavor that no one can deny! Tender rice is cooked in chicken broth for a full, meaty taste, then mixed with bits of ham and broccoli! Oh, and cheese! So much melty, sharp cheddar cheese! Mmmm, so good!
