My mother made this dish while we were growing up, and it was the first recipe I requested from her collection when I moved out on my own, recalls Meg Fortino of Powder Springs, Georgia. My husband loves it and requests the leftovers for his lunch box.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute green pepper in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add the milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low; stir in mayonnaise until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients; heat through. Yield: 4 servings.
