Recipe View Cover the casserole with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the casserole is bubbling, the cheese has melted, and the crumb topping is golden brown, approximately 15 minutes more. (60 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, try using Gruyere cheese instead of Swiss. You can also add a splash of dry sherry to the cream of chicken soup mixture for extra depth.
Feel free to substitute cooked turkey for the ham, or add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrients and flavor.
If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to speed up the process.
The assembled casserole can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
