Everyone loves to take the ham bone and make beans. But you can also freeze hunks of it to dice up later and throw in recipes. Most usually call for 2 cups diced ham.
One of my favorites involves buying 2 loaves of frozen bread dough. Once it is thawed, roll it out and sprinkle it with diced ham, cooked broccoli and cheddar cheese. The most important thing is to make certain the broccoli is well drained before placing it on the bread. If not, it will make everything soggy. Roll out the other loaf and place it on top. Seal it up, brush it with butter and sprinkle the top with poppy seeds. Bake it at 350 until the bread is nice and golden brown. Cut them into cute little squares and hope the children like it. The possibilities though are endless with this frozen bread idea.....anything goes.
The other favorite involves many of the same ingredients. Broccoli and Ham Soup. Pretty basic. Make it as big as you want or as small........
Minced garlic, chopped onion, chicken broth, a little water, diced ham, canned tomatoes (undrained), macaroni, broccoli, a little nutmeg (secret ingredient). It's best served with grated parmesan cheese and crunchy breadsticks.
If all else fails, chop up the ham, throw it in some macaroni and cheese with some peas.......
Many people will love these dishes and many people will not. You'll have this.
