Leftover Ham Ideas | What to make with that leftover Easter ham!
Hey y'all! It's the time of year for fantastic prices on ham! I love the versatility of ham and all of the yummy things you can do with it beyond heating it up and eating it with sides. There are SO many ways to use up ham leftovers, and I just filmed a small handful of the ways I love to use it.
As always, I appreciate you all so so much!

Me too. A natural, isn’t she? And makes everyone feel like they can do it even if they’ve never picked up a pot in their life👍
You are so good at this! You’re not just following recipes but you’re also creating, experimenting and you’re smart about knowing some chemistry and how to put ingredients and methods together. And most of all you have a very healthy attitude about mistakes (learning experiences) with solutions on the fly. Watching you is just pure almond joy! Thank you for making these. And Happy Ham Day to All and to All a Beautiful Spring!

Your husband or boyfriend is lucky to have you cook such delicious affordable meals. Stay blessed
I'm using our Easter ham bone to make a stock for pinto beans later in the week. Leftover cut up ham is great in omelettes as well. Have a Happy Easter!!
Everything looked delicious; the biscuits were an unexpected delight. Your family has a treasure in you.😊

I don’t eat ham anymore but I also love split pea soup in the crockpot, that bone is perfect. My grandmother used to make ham salad, great on sandwiches.
Loved this video!! I use chopped leftover ham in my scalloped, and augratin potatoes. Also in ham and potato soup, in mac and cheese, a ham and cheese and broc quiche, in scrambled eggs, ham fried rice. I use in so many recipes. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with is. Take care and God bless.

I watch and rewatch your videos and learn something new every time. I am 60 years old and wish I had had your knowledge years ago! You are fantastic in my book! Thank you!
Another great video. Freezing packets of chopped ham (cleaned of big pieces of fat) is great for quick pork stir fries, to add to any soup, eggs, casserole or make chopped ham salad for sandwiches etc. Always freeze your extra ham. That way you don’t get sick of eating it before it is gone. ;) I also like freezing slices to pull out and fry for a sandwich or nice breakfast anytime I want. Fried honey baked ham is one of my favorite things.
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you! I really love what you are doing here. I like your personality, the way you are natural and sweet and how you make amazing meals with so little. You are truly an inspiration for all of us. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!! Happy Easter!
Yum! The soup looked great before you blended it 😋 that classic carrot celery and onion mirepoix . I add leftover green beans, sweet potatoes...you name it. I love white beans in soup, they’re so creamy. Love your channel !

Hi there 👋 I’m Tammy and I’m from California. I found your channel through pure luck about a week ago. I binge watched until every single video was watched, twice 😂. You have such a soothing voice and I absolutely love your ideas about how to make food go as far as possible. I was praying you would put a new video out soon so I could praise you on such an amazing job you do in the kitchen. I seriously could see you doing well if you ever decided to make a cookbook. Take my money 💴 😂. So good to meet you and thank you for the content you put out and allowing us into your home and personal space. Hope to see you again real soon. Happy Easter 🐣🐇 to you and your family 🥂✌🏻
I can't wait to find a few of these bad boys on sale!
I Love You, Lisa Dawn! My family will be grateful to have left over ham options that vary from straight up ham sandwiches and ham casseroles! 😄😄
Home made croutons would be great as a topping for your puréed black bean soup
I don't like ham enough to buy it like this -- but these meal ideas you shared just may change my mind.
i like to make a thick kind of soup with beans ham chunks and bacon, sometimes with egg noodles, other times with rice, depending on what we have left at that time
Happy Easter 🐣 thanks for sharing…
You always have wonderful ideas for stretching a meal. Thank you so much, sweet lady.
I use my ham bone for 15 bean soup or collard greens. Yum!
Yum! When I use my emersion blender I will tip the pot at an angle so I can blend without the blender being stuck to the bottom of the pot. I feel that it works better that way. Otherwise you have a shallow area to blend in and end up picking the blender up, and sticking it down to a new area to blend all of the thick bits.
I also like to use a shank ham. With our big family, we need a half size. I Mix brown sugar and 7 Up. Use toothpicks to hold pineapple rings in the ham and pir a maraschino cherry in the center with toothpicks, then slowly pour the brown sugar &7 Up over all of it. More bang for our buck than a spiral ham with glaze!!

I am going through these recipes each day since we bought our ham. We made the black bean soup today everyone loved it! Thank you so much for your down to earth nature and everyday cooking!! I really love your videos! My family is thankful:)
Those are some great ideas. I love the frugality of your cooking. We got an Easter ham and it had a large bone, too. So ham stock was born. With cooked white beans, mirepoix, and fresh kale growing in the windowsill that was the most delicious soup I've made all year. A trick I use to get all the meat off the bones is to dip the ham bone into boiling water for about five minutes. Then cool and pick off all the meat, adding all the bone and cartilage back into the pot to simmer overnight, then strain. It takes a bit of planning, but worth it. I'll chop the pickings into small bits to add to the soup the next day or freeze into little packets for stir fry or fried rice. We like the soup brothy, but can change it up with elbow macaroni, pearled barley, or leftover rice.
Woo! Always love to see a new video from you, Lisa!
I don’t kno why I am addicted to watching you cook but I am
Hey Lisa! I think those biscuits would be great served with those soups so you could dunk it into the broth! Yummy!

Thank you for the great ideas for ham...I bought a ham shank also...when I make carrots as a side dish I add butter and lemon juice, it’s my husband’s favorite. Happy Easter 🐣
I always save my ham bone. It's great in a big old pot of crockpot beans! That was a great price on ham. When I do find them on sale, I buy them. Great ideas for the leftovers!
You could use the ham in a pot of beans or peas ( I love making black eye peas with ham, I use the Goya ham seasoning in ham and cabbage as well as my beans/peas, and i bake cornbread to go with), or make ham and cabbage. Small pieces could be used in scrambled eggs, omelettes, salads, or cut in pieces to fit in a biscuit. You could cook some ham with turnip greens mustard greens, collard greens, etc. You could use smaller pieces on a ham and pineapple pizza ( if you'd used pineapples when baking the ham to begin with). I bake my hams with crosshatch cuts. I press in some brown sugar, then use a toothpick to spear a maraschino cherry and push that through a ring of pineapple into the ham. Then I use a big can of pineapple juice, pouring over and around the ham. I add some brown sugar into the juice, since I'll baste the ham with the juice. This allows the cherries and pineapples to become candied a bit.
Very well done video Lisa! I really enjoyed it. Those biscuits looked so delicious! Did your mom get any? 😂
An elderly lady that I used to take care of, would have me take the ham, put into a food processor for a couple seconds. Add bell pepper, onion, pickle and celery all chopped fine. Then add mayo and mix all together for ham salad spread.
You mac n cheese looked good, when I make mine I use either spinach or broccoli in it for veggie and also add fire roasted tomatoes or rotel tomatoes, it adds a good flavor to the mac n cheese (usually I use hamburger in my mac n cheese but when you have ham, that is what you use), all of this makes for a hardy meal with lots of nutritional value along with the comfort. Thanks for your video, you had some great ideas, I think I will try the montey cristo and it is still cold with snow on the ground where I live so black bean soup would be good. Good money saving videos.
omg the ham biscuits looked amazing!!!!

Dry powdered mustard especially the Colman brand is a good substitute for mustard spreads. A 1/4 teaspoon is usually enough. The dry powdered mustard is also the spice flavor besides turmeric in chicken soups.

I now want to get a ham just for leftovers!!! Thanks for the great ideas.
This might sound weird lisa but trust me. Your carrots next time. Boil them in chicken bullion and when they are fork tender, add a pat of butter ( use your heart) and add dill weed ( again use your heart). The sweet earthy carrots with dill make me think of sunshine. Also try cooking you ham in coke cola. Most tender ham ever. So your ham soup with black beans. I think sweet potatoes might be amazing in that. Please tell me you that you saved that bone to add to your veggie scraps for a better broth!!

I enjoy Pea & Ham Soup. Your dishes looked dazzling! Thank you for the video!
I'm a year late. I live in Bama. We make a dish called Creamed Ham. You pour it over homemade biscuits or toasted bread. You just cut up the ham in small pieces or you could put it in the food processor. You can choose your own texture: small, extra small or even smaller. No big chunks or it wouldn't be Creamed Ham. Make a milk gravy. Add pepper. Mix the ham in. Stir. Then taste to see if you need any salt at all. Pour over split homemde biscuits or bread toasted a dark amber. You need it toasted well so the creamed ham doesn't cause it to get soggy.

Thank you, Lisa! Such great uses for the leftover ham ! I also make ham croquettes, chop up some hame, make a béchamel sauce, much like the cheese sauce with out the cheese , add a dash of freshly grated nutmeg. Put the chopped ham in the sauce. Refrigerate the mixture then shape into croquettes and deep fry. They are delicious!!
My mom always made Canadian whole yellow beans soup with the ham bones. What a treat that was.
When I get down to small pieces, I make Stromboli or add to eggs. I love your biscuit idea.

I learned on line to cook the potatoes separately whole and pealed. They don't get too mushy when I put them in the pot later at the end. Pepper but no salt; it's in the bullion and ham.
