The broth is like GOLD. As far as I'm concerned, the most valuable skill you showed folks was how to get that beautiful broth from a pressure cooker and can it, like my Granny did. She bought me pressure canner for a wedding gift in 1985.

It makes the best gravy too. Ham gravy is my favorite

Yes, broth is gold. Bones of any kind will make an amazing broth, base for so many meals.

When I have an abundance of leftover ham I put about a cup of the diced ham in a few little baggies for tossing in eggs or other dishes.

GIRL!!!!! I have binged watched you and I have to say out of everyone I have watched trying to do freezer meals and cheaper meals you are by far the realest person. Your meals are actually “normal” you give the recipe you use and one thing I have learned from you is I can use less meat and still be full thank you so much I love watching you

So true

Also a good idea to keep a few cans of whole potatoes on hand for when the dehydrated ones won't work out. Another good idea for ham scraps is ham and cheese omelets. There are just so many possabilities.

My Mom use to take some of our left over ham to make ham salad spread. She would use her meat grinder to grind up some of the ham, put in some sweet pickle relish and mayonnaise, then mix all together. Sweet and simple.

just last night I made what I'm calling thanksgiving casserole. leftovers used were turkey,baby carrots,onions,fresh mushrooms,dried cranberries,gravy and rhodes rolls dough. non leftovers used were fresh spinach,rice and cream of chicken soup. everything was mixed together and put in a deep casserole dish,then the dough was flattened and stretched out over the top. baked in oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. it was so delicious!

Sounds delicious!!😊

I was told by my mom who grew up in Missouri. To put a small amount of vinegar in when you are making to broth. It breaks down the bones and makes any meat, true bone broth. Hope that helps. You did great with your ham.

I never knew you could start out cold to can. I just love the efforts you put in for your family. I also love how you waste absolutely nothing.

Praying that everyone recuperated from the flu! 🙏 (I'm a few days late here) My mother-in-law showed me to take leftover ham and brown it in butter and brown sugar in a frying pan for breakfast. Soooooo good with biscuits or leftover rolls.

An idea for the ham broth is tater dumplings. Cook potatoes in the ham broth like you were going to make a potato soup. Make dumplings like you would for chicken and dumplings. Put your dumplings in when your potatoes are fork tender and cook on medium low until the dumplings are cooked. You can add some of the shredded/diced ham if you have some but it will still be delicious with just the broth, potatoes and dumplings. I serve it with a hot pan of cornbread. Cheap, filling and it makes a ton.

He did what you asked him to do! 😂 You know you have to be specific when you tell a male what to do.

A piece of leftover ham or chicken on a sandwich is so much cheaper than lunchmeat. That stuff is outrageously expensive! I do this for the kids lunches.

And it’s much healthier for you too!

I set here with my jaw dropped, I was completely amazed at how many dinners you made, then I told my honey what you did and he said 55 meals for $16? I said yes. He was much impressed!!! I'm still shocked.

My family loves leftover ham and spinach quiche. Without crust. 1 pkg frozen spinach, 1 finely chopped onion microwave for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the liquid. Set aside. In a large bowl wisk 8 to 10 eggs, salt and pepper to taste, 1 and 1 half cups shredded Cheese, of you choose and 1 lb chopped ham and about a tablespoon of Texas Pete. Mix in spinach and onions. Pour into a 9 by 13 greased casserole and top with 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes.

I like using the bone to make northern beans soup, poured over buttery cornbread with chopped onions. Yum!

I purchase a spiral ham when they do on sale once a year. I cut all the meat I can off the bone. I package it in quart size freezer bags or vacuum sealer as slices and diced. I use the packages to make quiche, sandwiches, scrambled eggs, add to Mac n cheese, soup, homemade hot pockets, scallop potatoes with ham, add to green beans and so many other meals. The bone gets used to make a pot of beans which I freeze portions future meals. There is so much as you showed to do with a ham. Thanks for the video. It was another great one.

I love when your boys do the taste tests for you. They’re adorable!

So many people can learn so much from you and these videos. Especially in this hard times with the grocery inflation. You definitely get every possible use out of ever bit of the product you buy. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one. Most people would just throw out that ham bone and not think twice about it.

When I was growing up my mom wound take chunks of ham or bologna and ground it with pickles and onions and then add miracle whip. My favorite sandwich by far.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I admire you and although I am old and thought I knew a lot, I have learned so much from you!!!! I’m literally glued to your channel…. So tired of all the fancy food excesses I’ve been watching for years…..you are such a blessing to the world!!! Thanks so much!! ❤

My ex wouldn't have put the whole crackpot in the fridge, he would have left the ham on the counter to spoil! Been there, done that. 🤦🏼‍♀️ You sure know how to use up food. Kudos to you! ❤🙏

Girl you got a master degree in using up left over. I take my hat off to you. I am a home cook and I have learned a lot from just watching you. Thank you for sharing. More recipes Please. You need to write a cookbook.

I went with homemade scalloped potatoes and onions and ham with some of my leftover ham. The onions and potatoes were from my garden They are keeping really good this year.

That sounds delicious.

Split pea and ham soup is on the top of my list!!

This is so helpful. I'm using up my delayed Christmas ham and needed ideas. Other than using some as a pizza topping and using some in a cheesy ham and rice bake, I wasn't sure what else I was going to do, but now I have some other things I can try.

I love watching your vids. I love how you give us step by step instructions. Makes me feel confident. I can tell that what we see of you is exactly how you really are, and that makes me feel safe here. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. When I watch your videos, I feel like I'm sitting at your table and visiting. You're like family. You work miracles with food like my mother always did. I always told people my mother could make a feast out of a bare cabinet.

You can also use ham in a breakfast casserole ( save about a cup of chopped ham or sausage) makes up a nice size casserole for Christmas morning. Then all you have to do is place it covered in refrigerator for Christmas morning. It is like a savory bread pudding. Make up a package of blueberry muffins and add some fresh fruit. We even have this for dinner at times. My recipe has sandwich bread, cheddar cheese, eggs, green onions chopped, milk, S&P, ground mustard ( or a tsp of Dijon prepared mustard can be substituted), and either diced ham or cooked breakfast sausage in it. Cover and store over night in refrigerator. Uncover next morning and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. If using a glass casserole dish, start it off in a cold over. So nice to come home to on a busy night or have on a special holiday for breakfast or brunch. Great with homemade cinnamon rolls, muffins, fresh asparagus as a vegetable to go with it, and fresh fruit with a sweet dip and juice of some kind. If there happens to be leftovers you can cut it to fit inside flour tortillas add a little more cheese and roll up individually for breakfast tortillas.

Haha Dusty putting the whole dang crockpot in the fridge is definitely a manly man thing. 😂

Hey gorgeous talented woman. I want to start canning so badly. Can I come have a teaching session for a couple of days from you? I am in Georgia and have always loved the area you are in. 🤗🤗🤗🤗😜😜 OMG I was at my Mother in law’s Thanksgiving and she was throwing away two Turkey carcasses. I grabbed those things and brought them home. I got two sandwich bags of meat off of them. Then I made 10 quarts of broth yesterday off of one rib cage. I froze the rest of the scraps to make broth in the future.

I just wanted to share that I got a package of egg roll wrappers for my Thanksgiving leftovers last year. I rolled a little turkey, ham, stuffing, green beans, and some cranberries then fried the egg rolls and dipped them in warmed gravy and they were so good! None of my leftovers went to waste; everybody loved them! Will be doing this again for sure. Love your channel!!!

Omg...I died laughing at the crock pot in fridge.. that was hilarious.. But he did listen I guess🤣🤣 great ideas for leftovers. The sliders looked super yummy

Thank you for the education on the pressure cooker. I needed this!❤️🌺

Brooke, I loved this video! So inspiring! I love how you showed the canning step by step and explained it, for those of us that don't know about it! You're the Jedi master of making something from nothing! Have a happy holiday ❤

I’m afraid to handle such complicated pressure cooker. Glad I can watch you do it with such ease! Now I’m hooked in watching your channel every day!

OMG, You can totally use leftover ham to make homemade ham and cheese Hotpockets. Get a can of large biscuits, roll them out a bit, fill them up and baste them in a 350* oven until golden brown.....DEELISH ! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND CHANNEL. PEACE AND BLESSINGS 🙏

Brooke I paid $34 for my ham this Thanksgiving you can bet every last bit of it will be used up or froze. I have 6 ham bones in my freezer because Aldi had hams for .87 cents a pound I bought for Easter and froze them every couple of months I pull one out and cook it up and if we get tired of eating ham I chop up what's left and freeze it for scrambled eggs with ham or Mac n cheese with ham or bean soup and I use a bone with extra meat on it. Loved this vlog Brooke.

You have so many great recipes. You are a true money saving frugal Mom and wife!! Thank you for all your hard work. God bless🙏🙏💖🤗

Little House on the Prairie in the background!! LOVE IT ❤️

I had in my freezer a package of deli sliced ham that I had purchased on clearance. I cooked less than a cup of Pasta, topped it with Onion, 1 slice of Ham cut into pieces, Broccoli, Corn and jarred Alfredo Sauce plus seasonings. All ingredients purchased on sale or at clearance prices so not only was - it delicious but this small Casserole made 2 servings for a low price

Love to use a ham bone to make navy bean soup. SO good. So many great ideas today!

One of our favorite ways to use leftover ham is to fry it up for breakfast. We usually do this at least twice. I also make breakfast bowls/burritos quite often and when we have ham, we will add that as our meat instead of bacon/sausage. Another option is to freeze the leftover ham. I usually freeze in meal sized portions. I do this when I just don't have the time to can or if we are just tired of ham..lol.

I froze leftover dressing and turkey. My turkey had been in the freezer at least 2 yrs. It was fabulous. We were ready for something different to eat. I made pizza last night, and a big pot of hamburger veggie soup tonight with jalapeno cornbread. 😋

There's also your 'Greens' which your ham bone can season. Your peas & lima bean dishes can use some of that Ham. Personally I would prefer 'Pinto Beans' but there's your choice of Beans to can. You can also mince that little left over ham and serve it over rice or with eggs for breakfast.

Love your content. I’m originally from Tennessee and watching your channel brings me home. The memories of being in my grandmas kitchen come flooding back. I guess I’m just a little sentimental tonight and missing her. Thanks Brooke for sharing.

Omg the potato ham soup looks amazing! Probably going to make this tonight!

Damn Hamageddon at your house!😂😂😂👍 Everyting looked tasty too❤❤❤👍😎

Your beans and ham juice look gorgeous great job Mrs Brooke

We had ham for breakfast the next couple of days, with fried eggs. I think a potatoe soup with ham,yummy! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas!

You do an amazing job stretching food and making meals for your family! I love your creativity.

You are a very good teacher! Thank you for your instructional videos!

Great job with that ham and all those ways to use it up. Perfect.

You’re amazing! Thank you for sharing and teaching us.

That’s what my family always says to me how can you make something out of nothing. And I was brought up with the saying if you save not you will never want not.

I love your personality. Very refreshing.

I think you are awesome 😊 I grew up with a garden and my mom canned we helped and loved it thanks for the wonderful memories 😊

Let's all help Brooke. Let the ads play during her videos. As always ur friend from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

I love your ingenious ideas! And soooo many eals! Impressive! Have a great day, Brooke!

Bravo Brooke you put your 🧝‍♀️ into it as always

Always great advice and tips for stretching a dollar !!!! Your videos are just a joy, thank you for sharing !!!!!😊😊😊😊

Girl after my own heart. Great job Brooke

I’ve learned a lot of new recipes from your videos!

I think the ham bone would work well for red beans and rice too! Yummm. 😋

Good job 👏 you are so creative. Blessings and hugs!!

You are amazing!! God has truly blessed you and your family. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work with us.

You gave me alot of good ideas with Easter coming up and having left over ham.

Watching you canning and hearing Little House playing in the background is just perfect!

You're a very smart woman and I love watching your content. Keep on keeping on, beloved one.

This is great for when ham goes on sale at random times.

I can’t wait to make potato ham soup! Genius! I have a ham I cooked this weekend

Awesome job making all those meals! Great ideas!

You absolutely amaze me! I have learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing with us your wisdom and knowledge. Truly you are making a difference ❤❤ Thankful for YOU!!!

I absolutely love this… This is the kind of thing I like to do.

Can I please come hang out with you and your family? They are such great kids and your meals look awesome

That's some beautiful bean soup 😍

I make very similar potato soup bc i keep majority pantry/frozen items to avoid food waste. I use cream of chicken(or cream of bacon), freeze dried hashbrowns, spam, whatever frozen veg, and water to make a quick and easy potato soup that my son just loves

Yummy ham and bean soup is my favorite, thank you for showing how to do the ham broth with pressure cooker. You always have such great ideas!!!

I always make eggs Benedict with leftover ham. I use the knorr package, fried eggs ham English muffin. So easy and amazing ❤ I freaking love ham! Thank you. Ham is cheap considering how far it goes 🎉

When removing my jars from the canner I find it helpful to place a kitchen towel on my cookie sheet that have a small lip around it. That way I can safely move my jarsif they are in the way. It's important to not set hot jars on a cool or cold surface or they may crack 🤗

I see lots of cornbread in your future with all those delicious ham beans! Great video!

You measure with Love That's how I cook too with Love

Thank you!!! I learned something new!!! I love watching your videos!!! ❤

Excellent uses! Thanks so much 🥰

I really like that you showed making the broth and canning the soup! That's what I do too! I have a pint of soup everyday for lunch, Oct-April since it's cold that long here in MN!
