Makeover Your Leftovers: 18 Best Ham Recipes!

I remember going to a Christmas party many, many years ago with a friend, and on the table was one of those spiral baked hams with a honey mustard glaze. My friend and I were waiting for the rest of the people to arrive. We had to literally remove ourselves from the room because we couldn’t stop eating this incredibly delicious ham. I kept saying, “Only just one more nibble.” It was THAT good!

Ham is not just for the holidays, you can make one anytime and the prices will probably be a lot better! Ham is a salty, moist, and flavorful meat that you can make hundreds of recipes with! Baked or slow cooked, there are always leftovers! But what can you make with your leftovers? Here you will find casseroles with potatoes and pasta, soups, and appetizers. Check out the yummy ham pizza and the ham Hot Pocket – a favorite of the kids! Let’s get hammy with 18 wonderful ham recipes!!
