What can I do with a fully cooked ham?

Question

I was thinking maybe making ham sandwhiches? But that seems to easy. And I want to be alittle more difficult. If I chop it up what can I do with that? Or any other idea's you have.

Answer 1

I loved to make scalloped potatoes and ham,

Answer 2

There are a ton of things, including sadwiches. Try making a cubano sandwich or a ham salad sandwich.

One of my favorite things to do is make a potatoe casserole. I don't know any other way to explain it. My grandmother used to make it, and my mom used to make it until she discovered her cholesterol was a little high. Not the healthiest thing every day, but for a cool night, it's great comfort food.

I don't have exact amounts, but I can get you close enough. Butter a casserole dish and then begin to layer, thin slices of potatoes (I use a mandolin, but you can use a knife or if you have a food processor you can use the slice blade for this as well first, then salt and pepper, next a slight dusting of flour, maybe 1 tbsp. for each layer. Next really thinly sliced onion or you can use onion powder or chopped scallion and then cheese. I prefer grueyere, but any will do. Try swiss that would be good as well. Oh, I almost forgot the ham. Use small diced ham in your final layer. Repeeat until your casserole dish is full. Make sure that you salt and pepper each layer of the potatoes. End with a final layer of potatoes. Pour on almost 2 cans of evaporated milk. Let this cook covered at 350 for about 1 hour. Then take the cover off and cook for another 15 minutes. YUM!

Also quiche. This is my basic quiche recipe, I just add whatever else I am going to right before I cook. Ham would be great in this.

1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
1 large onion, chopped

DIRECTIONS
Spread 1 tablespoon butter over bottom of pastry shell; set aside. In a skillet, saute onion in remaining butter until tender. Spread in pastry shell. Toss Swiss cheese with flour; sprinkle over onion. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and salt. Pour evenly over cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F; bake 30-35 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

This is the recipe I use for spaghetti carbonara, It calls for diced pancetta, but cubed ham will have a simlar effect. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/107810

You can make an egg cassorole with it:

HAM AND EGG CASSEROLE

2 doz. beaten eggs
3 green peppers, chopped
2 cans drained stewed tomatoes
2-3 lb. ham, cubed
1 stick butter, melted
2 lb. Velveeta cheese, chopped in cubes

2 (4 oz.) cans sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)

Mix all ingredients together in large bowl. Pour into two 13 x 9 inch casseroles, sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Recipe can easily be halved, or partially bake one casserole and freeze

Answer 4

Gosh...hundreds of good dishes. Grilled ham and cheese sand., ham and macaroni & cheese casserole, ham boiled with potatoes, cabbage and beans, a ham salad, similar to tuna or chicken salad, and finally soup with the leftovers and bone- ham & bean soup.

Answer 5

My favorite way to use leftover ham is to cut it into small cubes, mix with cold, cooked rice and pineapple chunks, sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar and butter (very little is needed) and bake in the oven until it's hot. Easy, and in my opinion, delicious.
