Have leftover ham you want to use up? There are so many recipes you can use it in! Casserole, pasta dishes, breakfast, soup, even stirfry! Sadly we didn’t have a ham for Easter this year. Although I am tempted to buy one today because I LOVE leftover ham dishes!
This week I am giving you 5 different ways to use leftover ham. Now I would not expect that anyone would use these as their meals all week…. your family might stage a revolution! But you can use a few of them!
5 Leftover Ham Recipes
Ham and Cheese Rolls from The Country Cook – These are a lot like the Ham and Cheese sliders that I make. But I love the raspberry preserves that she adds, it makes them like a Monte Cristo sandwich. Just slice your leftover ham thin and these will be AWESOME!
Split Pea Soup from SkinnyTaste – This is a really good Weight Watchers recipe {only 3 points} and calls for a ham hock. If you do not have one, just cut up and add a bunch of diced ham! This can be done on the stove or do it in a crock pot!
Ham Salad from Simply Recipes – This recipe is a good one because it also calls for chopped hard boiled eggs… you have some of those right?! If you have not had ham salad, do not be afraid! It is a lot like chicken, or egg salad. My kids eat it on crackers or bread without complaint!
Baked Omelets from Whats Cooking? – Just as easy as it sounds. A lot like breakfast casserole, but without the bread. This is a high protein easy dinner to make!
Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Scallop – The combo of ham and potatoes on this one is a winner! It is also easy with the cheddar soup, I am not a fan of condensed cheddar soup so I “make” my own. I will add it to the recipe below.
