Ingredients:
2 or 3 cups leftover cooked ham cut in small pieces
White sauce:
4tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
salt and pepper (preferably white pepper but use the black if the pepper police isn't around)
2 cup milk
6-8 slices white or wheat bread toasted and torn in bite size pieces
Directions:
melt butter and stir in flour to make a light roux. Stir and cook roux to almost a peanut butter color. Add milk and stir to combine. Add ham and continue to stir and bring to a boil. Cream sauce will not thicken till it comes to a boil. Reduce heat now or remove from burner.
Place a serving of toast on a plate and ladle the ham and cream sauce over all.

This is a variation of creamed chipped beef or the old military SOS. My mother used to have me trim the ham bone and she would make this for our lunch.
