Leftover Ham Ideas


Ham and Cheese Pretzel Calzone - Pretzel is key here, I think

Ham and Cheese Puff - puff or croissant roll could work here

Scalloped Potatoes - very thinly sliced ham here

Stuffed Baked Potato - My favorite, although not listed, is potato, shredded ham, and BBQ sauce with a tiny pit of cheddar on top

Ham and Cheese Breakfast Enchilada - definitely up the Mexican (and health) factor and add some chilies (or bell pepper at least

Quiche Lorraine - this is VERY rich and filling. Best for a crowd


Cuban Sliders - that bread looks yummy, doesn't it?


Cuban Sandwich - I really like Cuban sandwiches. can you tell? And panini sandwiches for that matter.

Country Style Green Beans With Potatoes and Ham - I know this link calls it soup, but where I come from, this is just country style green beans. Maybe just go slightly easier on the broth.

Ham Pot Pie - this link looks like am amazing pot pie, but I modified mine heavily (was aiming at less total calories and easier to make. It didn't disappoint).
  • 2 medium-small potatoes diced into small cubes
  • 2 large carrots cut into small cubes
  • Handful of corn kernels
  • 1 cup of peas
  • 1 cup of chopped ham
  • Combine all ingredients into large frying pan and add enough chicken broth until mixture is half-way filled up with broth. Cook until everything's nice and steamy. 
  • Add milk (until as creamy as you like. I did about 1 cup) and 1-2 Tbsp of corn starch. Should get pretty gravy like at this point. Stick in pie dish. 
  • Roll out half of a pie crust (the thinner crust topping is crustier and yummier, plus less total butter/fat in the recipe this way). I used the Pillsbury rolled up crust. Take a rolling pin and make it even thinner (doubling in size so a half crust can fit over a whole pile dish). Doesn't have to be round b/c you're going to cut it into squares. Lay the squares slightly overlapping. 
  • Cook at 400F  until the crust looks nice and brown. The veggie/meat mix is basically already cooked going into the oven (I cooked mine about 20 minutes probably).
