If you have been reading my blog this week, you might have read about my ham challenge -and how I was asked to stretch one 8 lb. spiral sliced ham into as many meals as I could for my family of 3 (check out my posts here and here).
I will admit that I was extremely surprised to find that one ham can be stretched pretty far – even further had I saved the ham bone for future use in soup! I ended up making 4 meals for my family out of the one ham, and I put enough ham into the freezer for one additional meal (5 meals total). Out of the 4 meals I prepared, I had more than enough food to feed a family larger than my own. Therefore, I feel that you could comfortably feed 4 adults similarly, based on this challenge – pretty awesome!
I am a huge proponent of stocking up groceries and household items when they are at their lowest price (preferably using a coupon!), and with the Easter holiday right around the corner, we are starting to see great prices on ham at the grocery store. From what I can gather from my past shopping experience, you will find the lowest prices on hams that aren’t spiral sliced, and on store brand hams. Whatever your preference, be on the lookout for well priced hams over the next couple of weeks, and consider buying an extra to freeze for future meals. I know that my Central Ohio grocery stores like to battle it out for the cheapest price on meat during the holidays – and if I remember correctly we have seen ham prices as low as $0.77/lb! (Obviously this will vary by area).
I love the versatility of ham – it can be used in breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes, and a little bit packs a lot of flavor. I also feel that ham stores/freezes well, and I love that it doesn’t spoil as quickly as other types of meat. You can read more about freezing and cooking ham on the USDA website here. In my research for this challenge, I found recipes for sandwiches, salads, soups, casseroles, quesadillas, jambalaya and much more. I honestly had no idea how many ham recipes are out there – and I’m looking forward to trying several of them out.
As I mentioned previously, this ham challenge was sponsored by the Ohio Pork Producers Council. Be sure to check out their blog Porktastic for recipes and more information. You can also follow them on Twitter @Porktastic & @OhioHogFarmers and on Facebook here and here.
I am not the only lucky one to receive a free ham to experiment with! The great folks at the Ohio Pork Producers Council have graciously offered to ship 5 of my readers their very own ham, just in time for the Easter holiday! (Anyone in the US can win – you don’t have to live in Ohio!)

I love cold ham and biscuit sandwiches with a little butter…my husband thinks it is gross but I just love it! =)
I always like to heat my ham with vernors poured over it every 15 minutes and not any other glaze. Ham fritters are great for left overs and then white bean soup with bone.

I love to take left over ham and make a stir fry with it. We picked up some extras for $4 each just after Christmas. I take rice, heat in some olive oil, stir fry it a little, dice up ham while this cooks, add it some diced cabbage, some onion, minced garlic and at the very end- about 5 min later I add a couple whipped eggs. Its super yummy and heats up well for a couple days. We do a lot of ham with different beans- my husbands fav is black eyed peas and ham

I made Ham ‘n’ Cabbage Soup found on the Taste of Home website. It is delicious! I have a friend who is having health issues and gave her some. It’s one of the few things she can eat. Everyone loves it! I used a combo of ham broth and chicken broth. YUM!!

My favorite ham dish — Cuban Sandwich — My husband’s Cuban side of the family call it a “Cuban Slug”
French baguette or other hard crust bread
Spiral Ham Slices
Pork Roast
Pickle Slices (refridgerated are best for this – Dill especially)
Swiss Cheese (I personally don’t like swiss cheese, I use meunster on my Slug)
Split the bread until you can fold it open – but not all the way through.
Spread Mustard on both halves
Layer in the cheese, pickle slices, pork , & ham.
Close the sandwich and wrap in foil. Place in a 350* oven for 10-15 min until heated through or cheese is nicely melted.
My husband will be enjoying these sandwiches for at least 3 days after Easter. They are his favorite and he only gets them 2x a year. After Christmas and after Easter.
Enjoy!

My favorite ham recipe is the breakfast scramble. Take frozen hashbrowns and heat them through in the skillet. Add onion and saute til onions are cooked. Add pre cooked ham cubed up and stir thoroughly. Whip up eggs and pour over entire concoction and then cover to cook. Makes a great casserole in a pan and very tasty!
I like to make egg casseroles with ham instead of sausage. It gives them a different consistency… a good one!

My favorite recipe for ham and is great maybe for leftovers is to diced up ham(about 1 ham steak) and cook it through. I like to brown it up a bit. Remove the ham from the pan and pour in one can of diced pineapple(or you can use fresh) and cook until warm and than add the ham back to the pan and reheat. It’s tastes great and is really simple.

Our favorite thing to do with left over ham is to make mini ham sandwiches. We use dinner rolls, cut them in half and then heat them up in the microwave. Then we had lettuce and ham and it make a delicious mini sandwich!

I love ham in quiche.
My favorite Ham dish is an easy breakfast casserole. You cut a loaf of bread into chunks to line a 9 X 13 pan. Then, dice up the ham – I usually use 2 cups or however much I need to use up the leftovers. :) Last, you mix 13 eggs, 2 cups of milk, some salt and pepper, and pour it over the top. It’s good to let the casserole sit in the refrigerator overnight – then, pull it out in the morning and stick it in the 350 degree oven for an hour. And, voila! A beautiful breakfast. :)

Okay now that the ‘business’ of sharing is taken care of … lets begin the fun part. One of my all-time favorite ham recipes is:
Apple-Cheddar Strata
Prep time 10 min. (ready in 7ish hours) 4 servings
4 slices white bread, cubed
1 box (12 oz) frozen harvest apples, thawed (or 1 – 2 granny smith apples cubed)
1 cup chopped ham
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
4 eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half (or whole milk)
dash white pepper
1) Spray 9 1/2 inch deep-dish glass pie plate with cooking spray. Arrange bread cubes in bottom of pie plate. Spoon apples evenly over bread; sprinkle with ham and cheese
2) In medium bowl, beat eggs, half-and-half and pepper with wire wisk until well-blended. Carefully pour over strata mixture. cover; refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
3) Heat oven to 350 F. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until top is lightly browned and center is set. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
I love this recipe for many reasons! Firstly, it is delish! I also love that I can throw it together while I am making dinner the night before and simply cook in the morning while we are getting ready for the day. Usually, if I make one, I make two. One for the next morning, and one in an aluminum pie pan to stick in the freezer. My favorite part is that this recipe is actually quite versatile. I’ve used frozen apples, and fresh apples of all kinds (whatever was on hand), but my favorite is with the granny smith apples.

Our favorite way to eat our ham is baking it in the oven with a combination of 7up brown sugar and orange juice. Cooked on top of the stove until it thickens up and then poured over the ham. Yum Yummy! Then I make a homemade mustard sauce, made with light cream, mustard powder, salt & pepper, white vinegar, sugar, egg yolks,,,,, and I serve the sauce on the side of the ham for dipping or pouring over the ham……

I love to use leftover ham for fried rice. If you put enough ham in there, it makes a good meal by itself. I start out with some garlic, then the rice, then some soy sauce until it’s a nice brown color. I add the ham next with some peas (usually frozen and defrosted in the microwave). Sometimes I’ll add bits of egg. Thanks for the great giveaway!

This recipe was one my dh taught me when we were first married. Place your ham in a roasting pan. Remove excess fat and make diagional cuts on the top. Stick the ham with cloves and place pineapple rings on top (I use toothpicks to hold in place). Cover the top with brown sugar and pour one bottle of Mogan David grape wine on top (this is for a whole ham, if using a half use 1/2 a bottle). Cook at 325 degrees for about 2-3 hours and baste around every 20 min. to an hour. If it gets too brown cover with foil the last half hr. It is wonderful.
I honestly have never made a big ham. I love it but have never tried making it, so I might be a little scared.
I love a great hot ham and cheese sandwich!

We love grilled ham & cheese sandwiches in our house…also love making homemade split pea soup using a ham bone…but my absolute favorite comfort food in the winter is the Scalloped Potato recipe in the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook – it calls for 2 cups ham, but we double it & use 4! Love it!

I love ham! My favorite has potatoes, cheese, broccoli and milk! etc. Don’t know the name of it!
My favorite ham recipe is what my MOM used to call “Pot Pie” it’s a soup that has small dumplings in it made of egg and flour. When I was a child we always asked her to make it. Now I seldom make it for my family but they make it for theirs. It’s an inexpensive dinner for a growing family. Since the kids are all grown and gone leaving me and my husband alone I seldom make “Pot Pie” I do however make Bean Soup with a whole shank portion ham (bone in), I use 3 pounds of great northern beans along with the usual onions, celery, carrots, and tomatoes. When the soup is done Hubby and I have Bean Soup for dinner then I can the rest. Pressure can in quarts for 1 hr 30 min @ 10# pressure. When we get home late or just want soup for dinner I have canned Bean Soup. I also do this with Split Peas. There is just nothing like homemade soup and hot homemade bread! YUMMY!

I like to make mini homemade biscuits using a jelly glass to make them small. Then, I make little ham biscuits. We have them for meals with salad or veggies or I take them to parties. They always go fast.
The little ham biscuits also freeze well, so they are a quick and easy breakfast too in the microwave.
our left over favorite is RICE, DICED HAM and PEAS sauted in a butter, think of fried rice minus the egg and soy sauce.
