There are few dishes heartier than the Sustenance Bake, and even fewer that are more satisfying; especially to the meat-and-potatoes crowd. That makes sense, because the Sustenance Bake is basically all meat and potatoes. It features savory, succulent ham and tender potatoes in a creamy, rich, buttery sauce. Doesn’t that just scream happiness on a plate? We certainly think so, which is why we always go back for seconds when this homespun hero is on the table!
