Growing up we used to have this on Christmas Eve for dinner. It is so good and the red and green makes it so Christmasey

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you're looking for a simple Christmas Eve dinner idea, this would be it! It will make a beautiful presentation on the table and it's super yummy. The mix of meats is tasty. Ham adds another layer of flavor and everything's better with cheese.
