leftover-ham-by-cafemama.jpg It would be silly to think that everyone eats turkey during the holidays, when I know for a fact that many prefer ham.

Just like with turkey, it’s not that uncommon to have leftover ham after the holiday feast.

Here are some fun things you can do with leftover ham, including lots of great and tasty ham recipes…

 

Make potatoes au gratin and add ham.

I love to make this dish with leftover ham, the cheese, potatoes and ham just melt in your mouth!
Make chef salads.

If you happen to have leftover turkey too, you can add that as well. With some hard boiled egg slices, tomatoes, cheese and a flavorful dressing, this can make a really fun dish!
Make navy bean and ham soup.

While this can take a while if you have to soak the beans, it is worth it. Also, if you have a bone you can put that in there to help flavor the soup. This was another comfort food while growing up.
Make leftover ham and cornbread casserole.

This one looks really yummy. I haven’t tried it yet, though I plan to.

 

Make grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.

These are still one of my absolute favorites for leftover ham. I like to use sharp cheddar for the cheese and whole wheat bread.

 

Add ham to macaroni and cheese.

If you have kids and they like macaroni and cheese, cube your leftover ham and add some to turn a side dish into more of a meal.

When I was a kid, this was a comfort food, so I still make Denver Omelets when I’m having a rotten day, and left over cubed ham really makes them taste good.

 

Make a Swiss Ham Ring Around.

I’ve never tried this (because I’m not a fan of broccoli), but if you are this could be a great new recipe to try with leftover ham. And if you like broccoli, then you’ll probably like this Cheesy Leftover Ham And Broccoli Casserole.

 

I like to get creative with recipes and ham is such a great meat, you can add it to just about anything and have it taste good. Hopefully you found some new as well as old favorites here. With a little imagination, I’m sure you can think of others.

My favorite things to write about are topics that have to do with pregnancy, weddings, saving money, living green, and life with dogs. When I’m not writing, I love to spend time with my husband, read, create 3D artwork and Native American beadwork.

About Us

LynnetteI love my kitchen... and I like to cook. But my #1 requirement is that recipes have fewer than 7 ingredients (or arrive on my doorstep via a food delivery service). My absolute favorite thing about being in the kitchen is trying out new gadgets, cookware, and storage containers! I'm SUPER organized in the kitchen (and everywhere else) and I have every gadget I could possibly need neatly and compactly tucked away until I need it. I share only the simplest recipes (which is great for people who don't like to cook), along with time-saving food tips and cooking tricks (that will save you time and money). When I'm not cooking, cleaning, or organizing my kitchen... you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

CurtisOne of my all-time favorite "hobbies" is cooking at home! I especially enjoy experimenting with new ingredients ...and different types of cookware. My specialties are foods that are diabetic-friendly, keto-friendly, and low-carb. I share my favorite recipes and cooking tips here at The Fun Times Guide to Food.
