What are you doing with your leftover Easter Ham?

[Mezzo]

I make a ham every year on Easter, more out of tradition than religion, and I know there are some that don't eat meat, but for the rest of us...what are your favorite leftover ham recipes?

I'm thinking scalloped ham and potatoes, but am not sure.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Soup - bean soup or pea soup

or in our case, both, because we have enough for both.

[littlebit]

2. Lots of

grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.

[Connonym]

3. have a pot of ham and beans on the stove right now

navy beans boiled with the ham and ham bone, some onion, maybe some carrot, season to taste. MMMM good eats but it will be windy in my house tonight.

10. My grama used to call the recipe "hot beds".

We all knew why.

[Nickster]

4. I'm making a ham/mac casserole thing. Onions, sharp cheddar cheese, mac, ham, cream of mushroom soup

I might get crazy and make some soup out of the rest.

[Mezzo]

5. Oooh...that sounds good.

I had a nine pound ham for three people (I'm crazy) so I have LOTS of leftovers.

I already made some spilt pea soup the other week (frozen) so I think casseroles and sandwiches are gonna be it.

6. I bought a big ham today on the after Easter sale

I'm baking it tomorrow then stripping the bone and freezing it in small packets. I pull it out for lunches, red beans and rice, breakfasts, scalloped taters and just as a meal. I get a lot of mileage out of a big ham with the two of us.

I just used the last of the Christmas ham last week and we're ready for more :bounce:

7. I'm making beans and sandwiches

and the barn kitties are cleaning the bone.

Cheers, Mugu

8. Nothing because I had leftover grilled salmon, no ham here.

[Mezzo]

14. I made salmon last night.

All the ham talk made me want something else. LOL.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. There wasn't any. For the first time, it was just a day.

The kids got baskets but that was it. Done. Over. Finite'

11. Do cats like ham?

If I had any reason to bring any into my home I don't even know if I could feed it to the cats. :shrug:

[Mezzo]

15. I take it you're a vegan?

I admire you.

[ThomCat]

16. Yes. There's a good small group of us here.

:)

24. Cats love ham

I think it's because it's salty.

[tjwmason]

12. Easter ham?

I've never heard of that before - certainly over here the traditional meal for Easter day is roast lamb (following on from the whole Passover thing).

I don't have any leftovers as I was staying with a friend.

[rateyes]

13. I have leftover roast and potatoes,

but with leftover ham, I like the simple sandwich.

[hedgehog]

17. There's such a thing as leftover ham?

I'm making ham and cabbage tonight for supper if the ham survives the lunch rush!

[datasuspect]

18. making sweet love to it

[Inchworm]

19. Good marrow, sir.

:P

[applegrove]

20. Dam I forget to bring it home with me. My parents offered it to me and I said

ABSOLUTELY YES I WILL TAKE THE HAM HOME WITH ME. Now I have nothing for dinner.

[underpants]

21. I have it in my pants

Why?

[leftofthedial]

22. I'm leaving town for a couple of weeks soon, so I froze the bone and some ham

for a big pot of bean soup when I get home.

[geardaddy]

23. I plan to make it into shoes.

[dropkickpa]

25. What leftovers?

My family eats food like a pack of wild starving dogs, late-comers are lucky to get anything at all. 15 people descend on a huge ham and 30 minutes later a grease smear on the platter and maybe a bit of gristle are all that's left.

My favorite "leftover" (a bought bone from the butcher and a hamsteak) ham recipe though, is 5 bean soup with ham, num-num-num.

26. Ham salad sandwiches!

Put ham through grinder
Dice any or all----onion-celery-cucumber
Real mayonaise
Salt and Pepper
LOTS of Horseradish! (secret ingredient)

Good Bread

Enjoy

27. That's kind of personal...

28. Croquets

served with mashed potatoes and cheese sauce. :9
