RE: Recipes Using Leftover Ham Post by WIsgal (80) | (01/11/2006) Contact There are several Ham Loaf recipes posted in THriftyfun, check them out at http://tinyurl.com/d5osd I make individual ham loaves, wrap and freeze, so can serve as many as needed at a meal. So nice to have an instant dinner in the freezer. Many of these recipes have a sauce to add while baking, I make that fresh whenever I bake the loaves. RE: Recipes Using Leftover Ham Post by susanmajp (295) | (01/11/2006) Contact My grandma used to put the leftover ham/ham bone in a pot covered with water. Add diced onion, sliced carrots and celery, a dallop of ketchup, and some barley. Bring to a boil, then let simmer until the barley was done. Absolutely wonderful on a cold winter day. I still make this comfort food. YUM RE: Recipes Using Leftover Ham Post by ldyharley (174) | (01/11/2006) Blog! | Contact I'm another fan of scalloped potatoes and ham. I make my own and it's yummy. Peel and slice the potatoes thin but not too thin, set aside. Cut up ham into small pieces, set aside. Cut up a stick of butter into small bits (or use less if you want), set aside. Chop up a small onion into really small bits(use less if you're not crazy about onions), set aside. You will also need some white flour and milk. Start layering these items in a glass oven proof dish beginning with a little butter. Cover the bottom with the potatoes, sprinkle on the onions and ham and a little flour. The flour thickens up everything. Continue making layers (don't forget the butter) until the dish is full. Make sure the very top has a little butter on it. Now pour in milk slowly all around until the dish has about 1/4" of milk in it. Not too much and not too little or it will spill over in your oven. Cover the dish and bake on 350 for about an hour depending on the size of dish you are using. Check the tenderness of the potatoes occasionally by sticking a fork in them. If you want your potatoes a little brown on top, uncover the dish during the last 10-15 min. of cooking. Allow the dish to stand and cool for awhile so the flour and milk have a chance to thicken. This casserole tastes better the next day when all the flavors have had a chance to 'meld' together. This, to me, is a complete meal but you can serve it however you like. RE: Recipes Using Leftover Ham Post by Alph (180) | (01/11/2006) Blog! | Contact Well, it depends on the ham. I like to take smoked, sugar cured ham, slice it thin, and brown it on my griddle in a thick pile. Then turn it over and cover it with cheese slices so they can begin to melt (I like good sharp cheddar but anything will work). Then spread a large burger bun with lots of mayo and barbecue sauce, put the ham/cheese on the bun, and grill the sandwich on the griddle to toast top and bottom and continue to melt cheese. This makes a quick and easy sandwich, though if you use as much mayo and sauce as I do they tend to be messy. RE: Recipes Using Leftover Ham Post by Great Granny Vi (208) | (01/10/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact Had another thought. I freeze a few 1-2 inch thick slices to use as ham steaks. Freeze them one or two to a freezer bag and then unthaw and brown in a skillet for a fast ham and cheese sandwich with a bowl of soup for supper.

I also just made an italian vegetable soup that was really easy and good. Put a bag of frozen mixed vegetables with canned diced tomatoes, ham, water, a couple of beef bouillon cubes and Mrs. Dash in a crock pot and simmer for 8-10 hrs., or on the stove for a couple of hours.
