Ham Ham and more Ham... got ideas?

[KyndCulture]

I got some ham today that was on mad sale... I have some black beans in the cupboard... I'm thinking a crock pot recipe is in order.

What else do you guys love that's made with ham?

1. mac and cheese with ham chunks

omelets
red beans and rice
split pea soup
ham steaks with grits and red eye gravy
baked potatoes with cheese and ham stuffing

14. I do something similar w/ the mac and cheese

except mine has canned tomatoes, diced green peppers and onions added, then is baked w/ the mac and cheese and ham chunks.

2. Since there was Wonder bread discussed here,

I might add that a real treat from my childhood was ham salad:

finely chopped ham
pickle relish
mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.
on Wonder bread

It's a wonder I didn't get rickets.

It's so good, though.

What kind of ham? Hams confuse me. I should learn about them.

4. Hams confuse me too.

This happens to be 8 lbs from the deli of fully cooked hickory smoked ham that I got for $4.99... it was too good of a deal to pass up. It's not sliced or anything, I had them leave it whole so I could use it however I needed to.

5. 8 lbs for 5 bucks?

I hate you.

Just so's you know.

3. Ham salad

I haven't had it in a brazillian years.

I loved it as a kid.

I used to buy sammiches of it from the Roach Coach at the end of the Minesweeper pier.

I used to buy it in the cafateria when i worked (a year) in a factory

Last time I made I was the young father of small children and still with *that other** wife.

7. ham loaf.....mmmmm!

Made with ground ham and ground lean pork and fresh bread crumbs and egg and milk and a bit of dry mustard, and basted with a brown sugar-cider vinegar glaze while baking.

Oh my lordy. Delicious. Scalloped potatoes are a natural with ham loaf.

8. fixed french green beans, ham, and new potatoes last night

onion and a bit of salt and pepper

a good summer evening meal

(just don't overcook and let the beans get mushy)

9. Saute onion and garlic....

add some cubes or chunks of ham, black beans, italian seasoning and serve over rice. Mmmmmm....

10. scalloped potatoes and ham.

My grandmother would make it, and it was one of my favorites. So rich.

11. Here's what I would do:

After making a meal or two (and of course using the bone for some split pea soup), I'd dice some up into small pieces and freeze it in batches of about 1/2-1 cup in little baggies or something. Then, whenever you want to make something like an omelette, or add flavor to a soup, or whatever... it's there, ready to go.
