The combination of ham, carrots, onion, pepper, and rice make this a dish that has something to offer to everyone. Make your job quicker by having the vegetables and ham cut in advance.
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/2 c. green pepper, chopped
1 c. carrots, sliced
3/4 c. water
1 can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 c. minute rice
1 1/2 c. ham, cubed
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the first four ingredients in a medium saucepan. Boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until the veggies are crisp-tender.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and heated through. Serve hot with fresh bread or muffins.
