I bought a pound of moderately thinly sliced lean ham last weekend. I
planned to use it in bean burritos and sandwiches. I find I don't like it
in burritos and I'm tired of ham sandwiches. I still have about half left.
Any simple suggestions? If not, I'll just divide it into ~2 or 3 oz
portions and feeze them for sandwiches in the future.

TIA

Even though it is sliced thin it would be good chopped and cooked in a pot of beans.

Fill biscuits or English muffins. You can freeze these breakfast
sandwiches.

Good idea! At first I usually used pork shanks, then smoked pork shanks,
and lately smoked turkey wings but I am due for another post of beans.
I've never tried it with sliced ham but it should be good. First I'll see
what else is suggested.

Thanks.

We used to call these 'ham thingies,' but I think 'ham roll ups' would
be appropriate too.

Spread ham with cream cheese then roll ham & cream cheese around a dill
pickle spear. Slice however you see fit. Secure with a toothpick.

Somebody always showed up with ham thingies at any and all family
gatherings and it was usually the first plated that was picked clean.

Nothing as simple as a sandwich, unless you scramble it with eggs.

Make Carbonara and switch out bacon for ham.
http://www.cookaholic.info/wp-conten...Carbonara1.jpg
It will also be good in a quiche
https://www.meals.com/imagesrecipes/18475lrg.jpg
or a frittata
http://www.cozycountryliving.com/wp-...m-Frittata.jpg
If you're someone who likes pizza, you can make a breakfast pizza with
your ham and an egg on top.

There's always Eggs Benedict

You can also use it in bean soup, scalloped potatoes or fried rice.

I've made this occasionally for for years:

Butter a ramekin dish. Spread a *little* mustard on the ham, tear it
up and place in ramekin. Crack a whole egg (or two) into the ramekin.
Season.Add a spoonful of cream over the egg. Top with grated cheese, or
crumbs, or both.
Bake in the oven until the egg is set and the cheese/crumbs melted and
golden.

I've also done this starting with lining the ramekin with a slice of
bread, rolled thin with pastry roller then buttered, then add ham etc.

I had some last week. Chopped it up coarsely and added it to a peasant
scramble. I normally use bacon for this but since I didn't put any in, I
needed a little fat. I put a little butter in the skillet, then tossed in
some diced potato. I usually use sliced but I needed it done faster. Cook
until the potatoes begin to brown then add whatever other veggies you like.
I always use onion and pepper. If you use something like tomatoes, spinach
or mushrooms, add them at the end of the veggie cook time as they cook
quickly. Then when the veggies are tender, add scrambled eggs and some
cheese. Cook through.

You can also chop it and add it to some sort of potatoes like au gratin, but
if it is hot where you are, you may not want to use your oven. If you make
pierogies, you can add a little to the filling.

OMG Janet! That sounds wonderful. I love shirred eggs. This is like a great surprise under the eggs. Makes me wish I had some left over ham!!

ISTR that (North) Carolina BBQ sometimes consists of Chopped Ham with
the regionally-appropriate BBQ sauce (vinegar and mustard, little to no
tomato). This is definitely not pork per se, nor is it shredded or
pulled, but ham chopped up using a cleaver.

Not cured ham. It is pork, smoke roasted and then pulled or chopped.
If the entire pig is used, the ham or leg is part of it. BBQ is not a
cured ham though.

It is, more or less :-).. a recipe I adapted from Rachel Khoo's on The
Little Paris Kitchen.

http://www.splendidtable.org/recipes...madame-muffins

Its a BBC series, if you get chance to see that on US TV it's worth
watching. At the very least it will make you think you have an enormous
kitchen and far too many gadgets :-)

A ham sandwich walks into a bar and orders a beer.

OK, one last time and I'm done with the topic. I was served this at a
BBQ restaurant in Raleigh, NC. I've only been in that state just that
once. The meat was most definitely a holiday ham. Cured, smoked, fully
cooked. The color was an even darkish pink which hints at the customary
use of nitrates and nitrites for a cured ham (not a smoke ring), the
edges were sharply cut (not pulled), no hint of strings or anything
similar, the texture was firm, not at all like freshly-cooked pork. My
*belief* is that it was a cured ham as you might see on a Christmas or
Easter table, machine sliced (chipped, shaved), hand chopped further,
mixed with NC BBQ sauce and served inside a sandwich bun with coleslaw
and French fries. I thought it was pretty darn good.

It also seems like a good home use of a few ounces of deli ham, as the
OP requested. YMMV

Or wrapped around a green onion. I love "ham thingies" and still make
them once or twice a year. I call them ham wraps, but thingies works
fine. Since you gave your version and I gave mine, I'm starting to
wonder if sliced fruit might work. I'm thinking apples. I might try it.
My wife just made a face. Maybe I won't.

you are going to have to go out and buy a whole lot more sliced ham to have
enough leftovers for all the various suggestions posted in reply to your
inquiry.

Depends on the type of ham. Sliced Spam doesn't work well with melon.
I think you're talking Prosciutto... if the ham won't work for a bra
on your melons it won't work on cantaloupe.... now there's a thought,

Reminds me of something that happened at a christening party for my
nephew's son.A friend of his wife is a pretentious git and brought
Prosciutto and melon. She was passing it around and encouraging people
to have some Prosciutto and melon. Then she had her daughter going
around with the platter and pushing the Prosciutto and melon and that
her mother had brought. It wasn't Prosciutto and melon. It was ham and
melon. It wasn't even good ham. It was more like the cheapest commercial
crap sliced sandwich ham.

It was so bad that she brought such a poor version of ham and melon to
the part. What was bad was the way she kept boasting about it being
Prosciutto and melon.

One has to wonder why you would equate what was described as thinly
sliced deli ham (as the OP posted) with sliced Spam.

I like fried Spam with eggs on occasion. But it is not leftover
deli-sliced *ham*.
