Ham leftovers!?

My son in law generally steals the ham from our holiday dinners because he just loves it! Howevr, I have substituted it for chicken or turkey in many casserole dishes and it works fine. Just chop tyhe ham into cubes sligitly smaller than 1 inch and throw in like you would left over chicken. You can also freese slices for quite a while so you could eat it all year long, sort of spread out the feast.

may i suggest the following: 1) ham & cheese sandwiches 2) ham, potato and egg salad 3) ham quiche 4) ham cones with cheese stuffings 5) Fried rice with ham cubes 6) Fried or soup noodles with sliced or cubed ham 7) cream pasta with ham 8) Garlic stir fried Vegetable medley (brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, snow peas, black fungus) with sliced ham 9) Ham and prawn salad

Well, I know that there will not be any left overs in my friends house as her pet dog is a maniac for ham and will do every trick bar a somersault for a little taste! Your soup sounds divine. I like to chop up ham and use it with salad and salad cream and put it into vol au vents (a flaky pastry casing). When I have guests on two consecutive days I often use the left overs in vol au vents and they are snapped up. Enjoy your soup :-)

When I have leftover ham, I always add it to a nice pot of beans. It's SOOO good! It adds such a wonderful taste to the beans!!!

my folks were not into ham that much I like it though them recipes sound good to me the thing about ham, and beef too, is if you fry it a little first, with garlic and/or onions, it adds tons of flavor, just brown it good, for that soup, or sandwiches, or with greens, with eggs whatever the heck you do with it, brown it good also, why not wait and buy it when you will use it? I shop pretty much every day

I will give away some of them to other people, and i'll keep some for me so whenever i am hungry, i have some stock and i don't need to buy anymore. But in my situation, I am going to buy what is enough for me, it's only for me though so it's better to be like that than to be spoiled.

For myself I'll make ham and scallopped potatos. They aren't hard to make, mostly just the cutting up of the ingeredients, but they taste great. I usually make a 13x9 size pan worth. All you need are potatoes, onions, flour, cheese, milk and the ham. Slice the potatos and onions. Layer them in the pan, first potatoes, onions, ham, flour and then the cheese. Keep doing this till the pan is 3/4's full. Then pour in milk on top till you can see it level to the top layer. Bake at 350 for an hour or until potatoes are tender. Hope you enjoy.

I would chop leftover ham to be mixed with fried rice, or to be mixed with scrambled eggs. You can add it on your soup too, or saute it with corn, diced potatoes and carrots. I remember my mom doing that and it tastes great.

I love ham, I need to buy one myself, it has been awhile since I have had one. Well I don't have any recipes for you. My mom used to fry the ham up and serve it with breakfast. She also used to put leftover ham and turkey in a freezer bag and freeze. She would pull it out when we weren't expecting it and we would have hoilday meals when it wasn't a hoilday.

We always make ham and scallops and the warm up is better with this dish. We use Velveeta cheese ,cream of celery or mushroom, add milk. I don't remember we alya went to family dinners so I suppose very little was left over or just enough for sandwiches.

When we have ham leftovers, we keep a little in the fridge for sandwiches during the week. We take the rest and cut them up into bite size chunks and put them in freezer bags in the freezer. When we are in the mood for ham, we defrost one of the baggies and fry it up in a frying pan. We mix some brown sugar and water in a cup and then pour it over the ham. It makes it a little sweet and it brown up really nice. I usually make some rice or noodles to go with it and I'm done. Fast and easy dinner.

I'd just like to know why everyone is supposed to have ham on Easter? where did the tradition stem from?

We like to have it for breakfast the next morning. Fry some ham, make some eggs and toast. Also you can cut it up and make an omlete out of it or put it on a salad if you like salads. My mom used to put it in a pot of pinto beans or black eyed peas to give them flavor.

What about dicing the leftovers small, freeze them and use them in another ham soup. Maybe one with veggies. Also, I know someone that cuts them small and uses them for homeade pizza toppings.

You can do a lot with left over ham. Like Canadian Bacon Soup,Ham Stuffed Onions, Ham Patties are very good, fried rice and ham,eggs and ham. there are so many more things that you can use left over ham for. I just gave you a few ideas.

I love ham! I love leftovers too- We are cooking a whole ham today- 15 pounds for 7 people-- I cant wait for the leftovers- We do hot ham sandwiches and mashed taters, cold ham sandwiches for lunches. I make a mean scalloped potatoes with ham! this is so yummy-- Also macaroni and cheese with ham and onions- Homemade of course- So yum.. Ham soup- with noodles and lots of veggies. I love love love Ham! I usually eat little during the Big meal and eat more later in the night!

One thing mom did was to dice some ham into little squares and scramble it in with some eggs for breakfast. Yum! On other mornings whe would cut some ham into thin slices and fry it, and a slice or two was placed onto bisquits for ham bisquits! Then some was cut into cubes and put with beans into the crock pot, that was very good too!

i'll use the leftovers for sandwiches in my husband lunches for work..i'm also going to make scallopped potatoes and ham...macaroni and cheese with ham...then i'll make black bean soup out of the bone...

Navy bean and ham soup! YUMMMMM!!! Ham and cheese omelet is always a favorite here. You are right after the 1st ham sandwich I am done! Turkey on the other hand I could eat for weeks in sandwiches! Have you tried a hot ham sandwich? Use a hogie roll or any bread you like and do some ham and cheese and lightly broil it and add all the extras after broiling that you like. That works too and is not as boring as just a plain ham sandwich. Or old school, do it open face on bread and put the gravy on top and serve it with mashed potatoes. That is good too. a full meal that way. Good luck with your leftovers and hope this helps a little. Great queastion!
