This Christmas we had ham as our main course. As always, even with my family here, there were plenty of leftovers. So, we cut it off the bone, bagged it in freezer bags and froze it, planning to use it for omelets in the coming weeks. In the midst of sorting through 20 years of my recipe collection, I came across this favorite and on a busy Sunday, got it started in the crock pot before church and let it simmer all day on low. Remarkably easy and yet completely satisfying, this has become one of my husband's most requested post-ham dishes.
Crock Pot Ham & Potatoes
8-10 medium potatoes, washed thoroughly and thinly sliced, skin on.
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (can use any "cream of ..." soup you prefer)
about 1/2 lb. ham, diced or torn into 1" pieces
2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 onion, choppped (or 1 T. dried minced onion)
salt & pepper to taste
Layer ingredients in crock pot and stir to combine. Cook on low 6-8 hours, stirring every few hours.
Total comfort food!
Welcome to Dinner @ 6
It's inevitable. Every day each member of my family comes to me with the question "What's for dinner?".
A good day is when I have a well-planned answer to that question. A bad day is when I'm simultaneously asking myself the same thing.
I've heard it. I've read it. I've lived it. "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail." This is especially true when it comes to getting dinner on the table.
That's what "Dinner @ 6" is all about.
My plan is to provide you with a plan for getting a satisfying dinner on the table without a lot of fuss and finances involved. Some of the recipes I share will have 6 ingredients, or will serve 6 or can get on the table by 6 after a long day's work. Some days I might have 6 suggestions for complementing side dishes or variations. These days, we're all busy. It seems as if the task list grows longer and the days grow shorter. Somewhere between education and extracurricular we are all stretched to the limits, and yet one thing remains the same -- "We all gotta eat!"
So, let's plan to have an answer to the age-old dinner dilemma the next time we're asked.
I'll see you for "Dinner @ 6"!
