I whip out my FoodSaver & portion wrap my ham leftovers. My Honey Baked Ham gives us fabulous opportunities. It allows me to not feel like we have eat ham for the next week in some way shape or form. I also love the Kansas City Spiral sliced Caramel Butter Toffee glazed as well. We alternate every other year.

I did not have ham this year but my favorite way to use up the bits and pieces of a Honey Baked Ham is ham salad.

I don't have any ideas if it has to be a casserole. But I love either a grilled ham & cheese or macaroni and cheese with him.

I also will vacuum seal a bunch of it to keep in the freezer, then I don't have to eat ham for ages, as I tend to do better with variety. My husband, OTOH, will eat the same thing until the end of time and be happy.

I will vacuum seal some packets of slices and some packets of scraps.

I also will take the bone, with a bunch of ham left on the bone (the amount of ham depends on when I just get tired of removing it), and make a pot of split pea soup.

If I cannot do that, I will vac seal the whole bone with some ham on it and do it another time. Last time I had two bones so I got out the mondo pot and made a HUGE batch of split pea soup. Then I take that, after cooled, and portion it out in L&L containers, freeze, then pop it out and vacuum seal each one individually. It will store for ages that way and stay pristine.

I like to put cubes in scalloped potatoes. Makes an entire meal.

Also, ham bits are great in corn chowder. Make a base of trinity (peppers, onion and celery), add flour and broth to bring up the roux. Then add in corn (I use a can each creamed and kernel.) Add about a cup more of chicken broth. Add in ham bits. Cook until veggies are soft, then add in milk to make a soup consistency.

@chickenbutt, omg, you are soooo right regarding the ham bone for bean soup! I almost get the bone-in hams just for the fabulous bean soup it makes with those ham bones. I use the pkgd 12 bean soup bags; two of those bags fit nicely in my 6 qt crock pot along with garlic, diced onion, carrots & celery. Don't forget the cornbread, lol. When my soup is done, I stir in about a cup of milk to give it some texture. Don't forget a scoop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheese & a douse of Lawry's salt!

I too am a big fan of layering leftover ham into scalloped potatoes.

I sautee some thinly sliced onions. then in assembling I have a layer of potatoes, a layer of onions, a layer of thinly sliced ham pieces, repeat the layers, then a final top layer of potatoes, pour on the sauce, a little cheese and bake. Yum.

I always make what is called a Bauenfrustuck (farmers breakfast) in Germany. I home fry postatoes first and then add onions, ham cubes and heat up. Then I beat a few eggs and add them to the pan and just scramble everthing together. Turns out to be a really good dinner. fyi- I usually use either red or small white potatoes, boil them ahead and when they cool I slice and home fry them in butter.

My MIL use to always use leftover ham to make ham and string beans. She would add potatoes cut into bite size pieces, string beans and leftover ham also cut into bite size pieces. For broth she used either chicken or vegetable broth since the ham was already cooked.

Just put everything into a large stock pot and cook till potatoes are tender and beans are cooked. Season to taste.

Amount of potatoes and string beans are up to you. She used a lot of potatoes as well as string beans.

These all sound good. I generally make ham fried rice, no real recipe required.

Cook rice. While rice is cooking saute ham, onion, and garlic until onions are translucent. Drop in scrambled eggs and stir until done. I mix in a little sesame oil and add the rice. Soy sauce to taste.

DH would really like this. He loves fried rice and loves ham, winning combo for him. Thanks for posting.

debic--
I make a recipe similar to what you do. I saute onions and celery til tender, then add some diced ham. Then I add 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 can cream of celery soup (or 2 cans of mushroom soup), 1 soup can of milk and some mushrooms if I have them. Heat it all through and serve on top of noodles or rice or toast.
