What to serve with baked ham?
I am not a fan of Ham, but I promised my son I would cook on on Tuesday. I am generally a good cook, but I am stumped as to what to serve with it. My son has nixed scalloped spuds, which is fine by me, I do not care for them either.
I am thinking baked spuds, but honestly have no idea what else to serve. I know the problem is that I really do not care for ham and do not want to think about planning a meal around it. So I am asking for your help. What are some of your family favourites to serve with ham? It will just be the two of us (luckily I found a nice small bone in ham), so I do not want to be making large side dishes. I am looking forward to using the ham bone to make green split pea soup which I serve with cheese biscuits. |
Smashed red potatoes with gravy and Asparagus spears. That is what we are having for Sunday dinner.

This is my favorite recipe to serve with ham. It's a corn casserole using yellow rice.
2 cans yellow corn 1 small pkg Mahatma yellow rice -cooked to pkg instructions 1/4 c chopped bell pepper 1/4 c chopped onion 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 small jar diced pimentos 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 1 stick butter Melt butter and place in casserole dish. Mix all ingredients an top with grated cheese. Bake 350 for 15-20 minutes till bubbly. I double this recipe. Mahatma rice comes either in a small or a large package. When I double it I use the large pkg. I also mix in extra cheddar cheese. It's great even for breakfast the next day. |
I am a big fan of the kale salad mix I get at the Superstore. It is a mixed bag of greens with the salad dressing and seeds and dried cranberries to top. For a hot vegetable, I like sweet potato baked in the oven.

Sweet potatoes and bacon green beans, or acorn squash

It all depends on how fancy-schmancy of a meal your son wants!
Not a fancy meal, but Ham with Macaroni and Cheese is always a winner in my world. Then a simple salad or cooked veggie to go with it. The leftovers of the three hots freeze well into single portion meals, if that is of interest. |
Is it a roast/baked ham, or just slices of ham cooked on their own?
If it is a 'joint' of ham that has been simmered/cooked already in a pot, and finished off in the oven with a brown sugar/mustard/clove glaze, then I would just have some roast veg (carrots, parsnips, butternut squash) all chopped to the same size and roasted, and add some gravy. Some dauphinoise potatoes would be perfect also. |
that corn casserole sounds good!

I just baked a ham last weekend and I made twice baked potatoes to go with it. My mix ins were broccoli and havarti cheese. Our other family favorite to go with ham is Alfredo with linguine. I made pea soup this morning with the bone. |
