do you like turtles?
nice. thanks
ham and green bean casserole…use cambell’s cream of mushroom….it’s delicious(:
For breakfast, you could cut the ham into small cubes and cook it in a cheese omelet.
How about ham salad, or ham quiche, or ham croquettes, or a ham and potato frittata.
Just go to foodnetwork.com and type in ham in the recipe search…there are dozens.
Take some of the ham and chop it finely or run it through a food processor. Add some cream cheese until it looks like a really yummy spread. Throw in some chopped olives and a little ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Spread on tortillas or other flatbread, roll, and slice into “pinwheels.”
Boil the ham with green beans.
or
Fry the ham in a skillet, use bacon grease to liberally coat the bottom of the skillet first, then lay shoe-string potatoes around the ham. When it’s all cooked, ladle over some warm trukey gravy and serve it up.
It doesn’t taste very good, but it’s guaranteed to add two pounds to your waistline.
Scalloped potatoes and ham. I cheat and use a box of scalloped potatoes, then throw in a couple handfuls of diced ham.
Or, ham and cheese spoon bread.
1 cup instant grits
1 1/4 cups boiling water
2 Tbsp. butter
1 cup or more grated cheddar
A little cayenne
2 eggs
A cup or more of cubed ham
Put the grits in a large bowl and stir in the boiling water. Then stir in the butter and cheese, then the cayenne and eggs, then the ham. Put it in a greased/sprayed 8×8 dish and bake at 400F for about half an hour or until set.
Everything’s better with ham: ND I hope I hitten you with this one…
