What do you do with leftover cooked ham?

Lisa, one of my favorite recipes using leftover ham is, Springtime Ham, Asparagus and Cheese Melt. I’ve layered a skinny ham salad, steamed asparagus and reduced-fat cheese on top of toasted garlic bread. The skinny for 1 delectable servings is 221 calories, 7.5 grams of fat, and 5 Weight Watchers POINTS. It’s delicious and perfect to serve for brunch, lunch or dinner. Here's the link to the recipe-http://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes/spr...

I use it in soups. 1-2 cups of cooked chopped ham, 1-2 cans chick peas or garbanzo beans one bunch swiss chard and about 4 cups chicken broth. cook for about 45 minutes. I also freeze portions of ham to use later in red beans and rice. Good use for the ham hock as well.

Chopped up left over ham.
Noodles or Macaroni for amount to serve
can of Mushroom soup
1 cup frozen peas.

Cook noodles/macaroni. Drain.
Put in Casserole dish, add mushroom soup, ham and peas. Mix all together.
Cover with grated cheese. or buttered bread cubes.

Bake in 350 oven for about 1/2 hour.

Kids can't get enough.
Onions, mushrooms, ground black pepper or whatever may be added to taste if you find this too bland. I grew up on this one and my brother ate it for breakfast if there were any leftovers.

I make fried potatoes with onions and ham and I also put leftover ham in the crock pot with pinto beans and cook all day.

I put it in potato soup. Usually my soup recipe calls for chopped bacon, but (especially in winter!) I add ham chunks to make it heartier--and usually get more compliments with the ham anyway! Here's my potato soup recipe (it's not quick):

Baked Potato Soup

- 2/3 cups butter

- 7 cups milk

- 3/4 t. salt

- 12 strips bacon, cooked & crumbled (again, your leftover ham instead, or store-bought cubed ham, when I want to make it heartier)

- 1 & 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (a little more never hurts!)

- 1 cup sour cream

- 1/2 t. pepper

- 2/3 cup flour

- 4 cups cooked potatoes, cubed (again, more never hurts)

- 4 chopped green onions

Melt better, add flour, stirring until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Add chopped potatoes and onions. Nring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Add remaining ingredients. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

* This also works well using leftover baked potatoes *

Add 1 c (or as much as you want) cheddar cheese

Pour over the noodles/potatoes, top with more cheese if desired. Yummy and easy!

I make scalloped potatoes, all you do is cut up potatoes like you would for chips, layer them with cheese and little cubes of butter and add little bits of ham and repeat. :) It's so yummy.
