Can you give me a new recipe to use up leftover ham?

Question

We bought one that was way too big for our family. So since the original ham dinner, I've used it in a pasta sauce and in a lentil soup. And we STILL have leftovers! Please help me out with something creative and tasty. Thanks!

Answer 1

Here in the south, pinto beans seasoned with ham and cornbread is a tasty favorite! You can also substitute navy beans. Sort, wash and soak a pound of beans over night. Put in slow cooker with good sized handful of chopped ham and cover with about two inches of water. Cook on low for about eight hours - salt before serving if needed. On the side of the Clabber Girl Baking Powder can is usually a recipe for cornbread. I leave out the sugar because we don't like it sweet. It's easy and will take about 20 minutes to cook. If you can't find it, look on the Clabber Girl Baking Powder website - I have retrieved it from there before I taped it to the inside of my cabinet.

Answer 4

Mac and Cheese with Ham and Broccoli.

make homemade Mac and cheese to bake - omit any salt. (Don't use the boxed stuff - it's way too salty with the Ham). Dice the ham, add it to the mac and cheese. Just add broccoli (I use blanched fresh, but frozen, thawed and well drained works too)

Top casserole like you would Tuna Noodle, and bake till bubbly and hot. (no exact time, because everything is cooked already, just need to heat it up)
