If you are like me, you have had Ham Sandwiches and still have ham left. I am horrible about buying a huge ham. I love it on Christmas, it is so good the next day, but a few days later everybody is like, “We still have ham??!”
So, I thought I would bring you a few ideas of what to do with that ham.
You may freeze leftover ham for up to 6 months, but for best quality, the NFSD recommends 2 months. Freeze whole cuts or meal-sized packages of diced ham for casseroles, or larger pieces for flavoring beans, soups, or stews. Here are A Few Short Cuts for using leftover ham:
- Scrambled eggs, fritattas, or omelets.
- Add to your favorite macaroni and cheese casserole.
- In scalloped or au gratin potatoes, from a mix or homemade.
- Add to corn pudding or casserole.
- Sliced, in sandwiches.
- Diced and added to appetizers like tortilla rolls.
- Add to Alfredo sauce with chopped green onions for a tasty pasta-topper.
Christy Jordan of Southern Plate Fame, has a phenomenal recipe for Black Eyed Peas for New Years Day! She also tells us why. Which is something I didn’t know until a few years ago! I will let her handle this recipe.
I am busy gathering ideas for the New Year. Expect New Recipes starting next week! I can’t wait to see what the New Year brings for us!
