left-over ham (ingredients, chicken breast, celery soup, carrots)

[j33]

Okay, I have a huge amount of left over ham from Easter and I can't eat sandwiches forever, so I'm looking for something to make with it.

I've collected a few recipes for ham and bean soup, but I'm open to suggestions. What do you guys do with your leftover ham? Have any good recipes for me?

Egg noodle casserole - toss cubes of ham with white sauce and peas, pour into a glass casserole dish, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and bake until bubbly.

If you like and know how to make chicken a la king, you can do the same with ham.

You can make split pea soup and toss cubes of ham into that as well - tasty.

Grind the ham and use it for Spaghetti Carbonara. In my pursuit of a recipe for this, I found a link to a page called "Play it again, Ham" with other ideas for you - hope something strikes your fancy:

My husband and I adore ham and peanut fried rice.


Take some fresh ginger and garlic and heat them up for a minute in some hot peanut or canola oil. Add the cubed ham and peanuts and stir-fry till nice and toasted looking. Remove ham and peanuts to a plate.

Add a little more oil (and ginger and garlic if you wish), and stir-fry chopped veggies of choice - whatever is in fridge. Sugar snap peas, carrots, celery, and mushrooms is especially good.

Now take (preferably) cold cooked rice and stir fry it in a little oil and add the meat and veggie mixtures in. Stir until warmed through. It's also traditional to use some scrambled egg, but really I can't taste the difference.

You can offer toasted sesame oil and soy sauce at the table so people can dress up their own portions, but I just add those in while it's still in my wok as we both like it the same way. I like to make a bunch of this because it actually reheats really well for lunch the next day, and also because we eat it greedily.

slice some and put into small individual bags and freeze. then when you want to make just one meal..for instance the au gratin potatoes with some ham, you will have it. By today, you are probably hammed out!
