I bought an after Easter ham on clearance and made it Sunday night. It was delcious, but now I have a huge amount of leftovers. We've eaten on it the last couple of nights, and sandwiches for lunch. Now what? Looking for some quick, easy, and "exciting" kid-friendly ideas for our next left-over ham dinner. Thanks!
Thanks for the ideas! We went with ham on pizza, but now I have some other ideas (because I STILL have leftovers-lol).
Use some chopped up ham and make a casserole like you would tuna Casserole... Only use wagon wheel pasta (for some reason this is the best) cream of celery soup, cheddar cheese and some chopped onion . maybe green bell pepper if you have it. Yuuum its my fave.
I pinned this recipe the other day .... Looks delicious!
