<p>I have quite a bit of ham leftover from Sunday and we are tired of ham sandwiches! Does anyone have any great recipes for leftover ham?</p>
<p>Put it in a casserole with some au gratin potatoes?? Yum…</p>
<p>Scalloped potatoes or split pea soup…yum.</p>
<p>Add the ham bone (and extra ham if it fits) in crockpot. Add split pea soup mix (usually in a tall thin sleeve) and water per the package. I like to add carrots and onion too. Cook all day on low.</p>
<p>All week S2 has been devouring left over ham mixed in with homemade macaroni and cheese. He says he could eat it every day.</p>
<p>You could put some away for a strata or other breakfast casserole for New Year’s Day or to add to Hoppin’ John for New Year’s dinner. (The second idea will bring you a prosperous year filled with luck.)</p>
<p>Ham and Asparagus Casserole</p>
<p>Ham (leftover slices or cubed pieces)
1 lb fresh Asparagus, trimmed, rinsed & steamed until tender (I cut the asparagus into bit-size pieces before steaming)
4 Tablespoons Butter
4 Tablespoons Flour
2 cups Milk (I usually use skim with a little half & half added)
6-8 oz sharp Cheddar Cheese (I will also mix & match whatever cheese I have)</p>
<p>Preheat oven to 350 F
Melt butter in skillet; add flour, stirring to blend.
Add Milk and cook until thickened.
Remove from heat and add cheese and stir until cheese is melted.
Season with Salt and Pepper.</p>
<p>In oven proof casserole (sprayed with Pam), layer in Ham slices or Ham cubes.
Add cooked Asparagus
Pour Cheese mixture over Ham and Asparagus.</p>
<p>Bake for 30 minutes until heated.</p>
<p>I serve this casserole over rice or sometimes egg noodles.</p>
<p>This does make a lot of cheese sauce, so I often times decrease the recipe to 3Tbsp each flour & butter and 1 1/2 cups milk.</p>
<p>Broccoli can be substituted for asparagus.</p>
<p>This recipe came from Honey Baked Ham.</p>
<p>Thanks for the great suggestions. O2B@C, your recipe is very similar to one my friend emailed me, except that one had spinach for the veggie. I have it prepped and ready for the oven, I’ll let you know how it turns out. I still have enough ham for another meal or two. I guess I will have to freeze it.</p>
<p>Split pea soup is my favorite. I also like ham and Belgian endives with a cheesy white sauce.</p>
<p>woof
winne
woof</p>
<p>my childhood favorite: ham salad (chop ham extra fine, or use food processor) mix with mayo and pickle relish, for sandwiches.</p>
<p>Thanks, Fishymom.</p>
<p>This Asparagus Ham recipe is one of my favorite leftover ham recipes. I really like buying a ham as you can easily get 4-5 dinners out of it.</p>
<p>I put some in a quiche last night. The original recipe is for a crabmeat quiche, but I just substitute ham for the crab (about 1- 1 1/2 cups chopped ham). Mix 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup milk, 2 beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/3 cup chopped green onion, 1 1/2 cups grated swiss cheese, and dash of cayenne pepper with the ham. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.</p>
<p>Throw in with rice, sauteed onions, and blackeyed peas for Hoppin’ John.</p>
<p>Put into a large Cobb salad.</p>
<p>Throw into some crepes with some cheese.</p>
<p>Breakfast casserole as already mentioned.</p>
<p>We splurged this year and got a Honey Baked Ham. We are eating every last scrap! Sandwiches, on biscuits, in eggs. New years tradition is Navy bean soup so I’ll need the hambone. Anything that hasn’t been picked off will be diced and frozen to put in eggs the boys eat often. It was far and away the best ham we’ve ever had!</p>
<p>Also, if you’re sick of ham already but still have it left, it freezes wonderfully! Just in freezer bags. Ready for ham casseroles in a month…</p>
<p>there was a recipe here last year for a ham and potato casserole that was very good. have to see if I can find it.</p>
<p>Sooooo many good things to do with leftover ham!
If you’re sick of it for now, dice it up and stick 1/2 cup or 1-cup portions in zip-loc bags or small freezer containers and freeze - great to have around for omelettes or scalloped potatoes or various casserole/quiche/strata recipes. If you add ham and possibly also frozen peas to one of those boxed scalloped or augratin potato mixes, it makes a really easy and tasty meal.
Also good tossed into salads, as someone mentioned above. Also improves your basic Kraft Mac & Cheese.</p>
<p>If you’re sick of cold ham sandwiches, it also makes great grilled ham and cheese sandwiches (use plain ol’ cheeses, or fancy stuff), or can be combined with various other goodies to make delicious paninis.</p>
<p>My mom makes “Ham and Cabbage”. It’s just like Corned Beef and Cabbage, only made with the ham bone (if you have one), bits of ham, plus potatoes, onions, carrots and cabbage. Delicious! Serve with some good crusty bread to soak up the yummy juice.</p>
<p>Lightly fry some slices up in a skillet and serve with breakfast.</p>
<p>Ham freezes well. Cube some leftover ham, put in ziplock bags, flatten (so it defrosts quickly), seal and freeze. Use in split pea or minestrone soups. Yumm!</p>
