LOTS of leftover ham!
- Thread starter suziquzie
- Start date
We can't wait to get through the one meal of ham so we can grind it up with pickles and onions, then mix with mayo for ham salad sandwiches. Pretty much the main reason we buy the ham in the first place.
My mother grinds up her leftover hardboiled eggs and puts them in there, too (very good!), but I think I'll make egg salad with those instead.

I'm using mine for Quiche 
In addition to the great uses the others listed you can also dice it up in small cubes and marinate it in some Asain BBQ sauce for a while. Now do so fried rice using some day old rice some peas or what ever else you want to add to it. I posted the recipe here a while back.

I grind up ham, hard-boiled eggs and cheddar cheese for my ham salad. I then add sweet pickle relish, Miracle Whip and a little mustard. You can add a little horseradish for zip if you wish.
Use ham scraps to season baked beans, green beans, cabbage, or any kind of greens.
Microwave chunks of cabbage with chopped onion, garlic, ham, baby carrots, a few potatoes, a can of diced tomatoes with juice and a can or two of chicken broth to make a delicious cabbage soup.
Place a piece of ham, slice of cheese and fried egg between two toasted English Muffins...It will taste lots better than McYuck's.
Make a meal of baked potatoes stuffed with diced ham, grated cheese and cooked broccoli florets.
Briefly grill slices of ham and pineapple. Place ham on toasted bun topped with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and the pineapple.
Use chopped ham as a pizza topping...put in in a fritatta, quiche or scrambled eggs...add it to a filling for a calzone...put it in a cheese ball...
add it to potato salad, pasta salad or lettuce salad...
Just use your imagination!

Didn't we just have a thread on ham recipes started by Doc? For the whole ham, I mean not leftovers. Anyway, it had a great recipe for your ham Sass to make it like a Honey Baked Ham.
For us, definitely ham soup with Great Northern beans! Also, substituted on Eggs Benedict in place of the Canadian Bacon.

I think I'm going to save a little for me, Bud-- just for some sandwiches.. and give the rest to Brenda and Larry next door.
They are going through a pretty rough time right now with EVERYTHING.
Yup, that's what I'll do.
