This winter has been unbelievably cold and snowy, and we’ve made some stick-to-your-ribs meals that come together pretty easily, warm you up really well and leave enough for lunch the next day, too.

• 2 cups fully cooked, diced ham
• 2 lbs. potatoes, washed, peeled and sliced very thin (a mandoline helps a lot – just be careful!)
• 2 heads broccoli, washed and cut into florets
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/4 vidalia onion, diced
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 5 tbsp. flour
• 2 cups grated cheddar, or cheese of choice
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 pinches nutmeg
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp. white pepper
