What else can I make with this ham?

[OnMyOwn]

A relative sent us a 10 lb honey baked ham for Christmas and I pulled it out of the freezer this week.

 

So far, I have made:

 

Ham and macaroni and cheese

Ham and sweet potato casserole

Ham and melted swiss sandwiches with chickfila sauce

Bisquick sandwiches with ham and cheddar

 

I'll make split pea soup when we get down to the bone, but I still have half a ham left.

[lexi]

My kids like ham and beans with cornbread.

[mom2samlibby]

funeral potatoes

[Miss Mousie]

Omelettes

[Miss Mousie]

Wraps with cream cheese, ham, scrambled eggs and maybe grilled onions

 

 

[KatieJ]

Broccoli cheese soup

Pasta with ham and peas

Cheesy potato ham soup

Ree drummonds chicken cordon blue casserole ( chicken will help,you forget you are eating ham again)

Wild rice soup

 

Throw it in the freezer when you get tired of it, especially the bone

[6packofun]

Frittata or quiche.  

[Onceuponatime]

Ham fried rice

Fettuccine Alfredo

Pasta salad

Pizza

Ham salad sandwiches

[ThisIsTheDay]

Ham salad. Chop the ham very finely, add mayonnaise to make it stick together, and chopped pickles.

 

How old are your kids?  I used to surprise mine with green eggs and ham for breakfast.  Use blue coloring to turn the yellow eggs green.

 

Or just fried slices of ham and scrambled eggs for breakfast or dinner.

I made a ham pie recently that was really good.  I just cut up the ham with onions, apples, carrots (and possible potatoes?) and cooked it in a white sauce.  I used sage, but rosemary would also work.  I only used a top crust for the pastry.

 

You can also grind up the ham and add spices and make a proper pork pie.

 

Or, do itis pasties with potatoes, carrots, and turnip.

Ham in scalloped potatoes.  You can also make a spaghetti carbonara with ham instead of bacon- it's super fast and really yummy.  Potato soup with ham is good too. 

 

 

I like many of the above suggestions- ham salad, frittata or quiche, ham and bean soup, omelets. 

 

[OnMyOwn]

Lots of great ideas! I know a quiche would definitely be a hit with everyone and my son loves scalloped potatoes. And cheesy potato ham soup would probably go over a lot better than split pea, though my husband may be disappointed since he loves pea. Thank you!

Ham in scalloped potatoes, corn chowder with ham, omelets, wild rice soup with ham.  

[SparklyUnicorn]

I make a soup similar to this that is good:

I would slice and freeze in small portions.  

 

You could also do ham/egg or ham/egg/cheese breakfast sandwiches.  We like them with English muffins.  Or breakfast burritos.  You could make up a bunch of either and freeze them, then pull out and thaw as needed.

Yes, please!

Man, back in the day my family could easily go through a Honeybaked ham with no problem.... just eating sandwiches.  Yum.  (Excuse me for a Muslim convert nostalgic moment of missing pork.)

 

Second the ham salad recommendation as well as ham fried rice.  My grandma used to grind the ham in a meat grinder for ham salad, but I bet a food processor or sharp knife would work well, too.

 

Had a friend from Saipan (near Guam) and she used to make the best spam fried rice.  The key was adding a ton of soy sauce  and black pepper to beaten eggs....and then adding that at the end.... and stirring the eggs into the rice, carrots, onion, spam/ham mixture.  You didn't want separate bits of egg, rather it would kind of glue it all together.

 

Being from Michigan, we'd make navy bean soup with the bone.

When I have leftover ham I usually end up with at least one big frittata.

[Tanaqui]

Ham fried rice.

"Green" eggs and ham (here green because of spinach and parsley NOT food dye, ick)

Chicken breasts stuffed with ham, apples, and pecans

Pasta carbonara (sorta) with peas and/or broccoli

Hawaiian pizza

 

[AndyJoy]

I'm using up the rest of ours to make egg casserole to cut up and eat for quick breakfasts:

 

1 dozen eggs

1/4 cup milk

2 cups cheese

1 lb ham or sausage

diced green onions

1 tsp mustard powder

1/8 tsp pepper

 

Whisk eggs, milk, mustard, then add the rest. Pour in greased 9X13 dish and bake at 350 for 25-30 min.

Yangzhou fried rice.  Note: no soy sauce, it tastes fresh, not dark.   I was taught roughly this recipe:

Ham freezes very well. I freeze portions in quart freezer bags with no problem.

My son cooks one meal a week and he made this tonight. I'm on a diet so I was only going to have a small bite. Oh, it was so good. I ate a whole bowl of it. And then went back for more.
