Ham 'n' Potato Casserole Recipe From tasteofhome.com

1. Ham ‘n’ Potato Casserole: (as seen in pic) Sour cream and cheese give this hearty casserole an irresistible richness. Paired with fresh fruit, it is a filling breakfast, lunch or dinner.
2. Spicy Creole Jambalaya: It’s smoky, spicy flavor is oh so good. Cest’ bon, by itself or as a hearty side dish. The great thing about making Jambalaya is that you can use any ingredients that you have on hand and experiment with different amounts of heat and spice, and adjust accordingly. I like my mine spicy and hot! Recipe found at Cajun Delights.
3. Dilly Ham & Eggs: This is one of the breakfast casseroles I made for the men’s breakfast today. I prepared it last night, and baked it fresh this morning. I served it with fresh fruit, assorted muffins & biscuits, coffee & juice. Easy & delicious! Recipe found at Chick Food.
4. Pineapple Ham Pocket: This tasty sandwich can be prepared using leftovers. Recipe from Kraft Foods.
5. Baked Omelets: Omelets are delicious and so easy to customize to your exact liking. Take a look. Recipe found at What’s Cooking.
6. Risotto With Asparagus, Peas & Ham: I liked this when I first tasted it, but after eating it, I really like it. I guess it was one of those times I ate too fast! I really liked the addition of the peas. And the ham really gave it a nice salty taste. This was a great one-pot dish. Recipe found at Cooking Up Recipes.
7. Deviled Ham Salad Sandwiches: Between the slight tang of the deviled ham, to the sharp bite of the raw onions and the sweet ending of the pickles, it was totally lick-your-fingers good .. and beyond that, a nice respite from leftovers. Recipe found at Sweetnicks.
8. Gruyère and Ham Pasta: Ham gives a wonderful smoky flavour to cheese sauce. Any short pasta is suitable. Recipe from Canadian Living.

11. Ham & Leek Pie: In theory you could make this pie with a multitude of leftovers, just don’t forget to briefly cook the veg before you add it to the pie. In the first pie I made a few days after Christmas I added Green Thunder to the cheese sauce which was absolutely delicious. Recipe found at Domestic Goddess In Training.
