Bacon-Glazed Spiral Ham

What’s better than spiral ham? Bacon-glazed spiral ham, of course. It’s spiral-ham-sale-time here, so I backed up the truck and grabbed a nice big smoked ham. Of course, they’re easy to reheat. And just as easy to glaze during the last 30 minutes. The bacon glaze adds a bit more smokiness, but also some sweetness, a little tartness and a little tang thanks to two different kinds of mustard. I don’t usually use the bag of glaze that comes with many hams. It kinda scares me, to tell the truth. I’d rather use something that I made at home so I know what’s in it!

A Great Tasting Glaze

You can substitute pretty much any jelly you want in place of the Creole mustard, but I’d stay away from ‘darker’ ones, such as blueberry or the like. Go for lighter colors. And don’t be afraid to use a spicy jelly such as jalapeno pepper jelly. You may also want to double the amount of bacon-glaze, serving any leftover glaze as a drizzle over the sliced ham when you serve it. Bacon-glazed spiral ham is a wonderful thing and more glaze is… more wonderful!

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

My wife and I really enjoyed the flavors of this super-simple chicken Cordon Bleu casserole. Tender chicken with a bit of ham and crunchy breadcrumb topping. And of course that wonderful Dijon mustard flavor in a creamy cheesy sauce. This is the perfect quick and easy meal for a cool late-winter evening.

Use Thin Chicken Cuts

I prefer to butterfly chicken breasts in just about any recipe where I need them. They cook up more evenly, and a bit quicker. And I like the texture better. I like a big ole thick beef steak, but that’s about the only time I need my meat cut thick. For chicken, I think thinner is better.

Spice It Up

If I’m feeling adventurous the next time I make this chicken Cordon Bleu casserole I might try a little twist or two. Maybe use pepper jack cheese instead of Swiss for a nice kick to the sauce. Or maybe add a pinch or two of cayenne in with the breadcrumbs. Oh, this dish is great as it is, but I hardly ever pass up the opportunity to add some heat.

Country Ham Egg Muffin

I’ve made my share of egg sandwiches. And they were all good, but there was just a little something missing from them. Something was needed to put them over-the-top. When I ran across the recipe for these country ham egg muffin sandwiches in John Currence’s Big Bad Breakfast I quickly put the items I needed to make them onto my grocery list. They turned out to be my favorite egg sandwiches of all time. And nothing is missing from them. I’ve made them three times this week already (is that wrong?).

The Perfect Breakfast Sandwich

Velveety American cheese, hot sauce, fried ham, a little thyme and salt and pepper, mayonnaise, and a perfect egg. Each bite was perfect. And don’t omit the mayonnaise. At first I wasn’t sure about mayonnaise on an egg sandwich. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I associate mayonnaise with a big ole meaty lunch sandwich and not breakfast. Well, mayonnaise is really great on these country ham egg muffins, so don’t leave it off!

Oh how I wish I could eat at City Grocery. It’s on my bucket list for sure.

Ham Salad Sandwich

I was digging around in the freezer when I came across a container of leftover smoked ham. My first thought was to make your standard ham-and-cheese sandwiches, but after more pondering, I decided that a ham salad sandwich would be way better. And it was. So much better.

A Great Ham Salad For Wraps, Too

This ham salad was fantastic on a sandwich. It has a nice bit of a crunch, and a little kick from the Cajun seasoning (I used more than a dash). The salad is also great in a wrap. And even fantastic on crackers. Got a fru-fru fancy luncheon planned? Yep, finger sandwiches with this salad are bound to impress everyone.

I’m Boiled Egg Challenged

I absolutely stink (best word I could think of) when it comes to making boiled eggs. Hard or soft, doesn’t matter. I am egg challenged. So I picked up a little cheap egg cooker like the one below. This lil baby cranks out 6 eggs in about 15 minutes and they’re perfect each and every time! I don’t even feel bad any more that I just cannot make boiled eggs!

Cherry Sauce Glazed Ham

I used to think it would be wrong to just have ham for dinner. This cherry sauce glazed ham made me think it would actually be ok to just sit down to a plate of ham and get at it. I didn’t, but I could have. The tartness of the cherries and the sweetness of the honey, along with a few spices, make each bite fantastic. Even a cheap ham becomes something decadent after being glazed with the sauce.

Try Other Things, But Don’t Go Sweet

I think you could try something other than cherry preserves to make the sauce for this cherry sauce glazed ham, if you wanted to. You’d want something that isn’t so sweet, though, such as cranberry or pomegranates.

Ham and Cheese Grinder

I once worked near a W.G. Grinders, my favorite place for baked sandwiches at lunchtime. Sadly, W.G. Grinders no longer has any locations open in Indiana (there are a few in Ohio). They sure made great sandwiches. Now I have to make a ham and cheese grinder at home to satisfy my cravings. Although I sure liked the ones at the order-at-the-counter restaurant, these are not anything to sneeze at! In fact, they’re fantastic!

This ham and cheese grinder is a great way to make an outstanding baked sandwich at home. It’s very easy, yet very tasty. Of course, you can use any meat or cheese you like. The key ingredients are the garlic butter and the little sprinkle of paprika at the end. Mmmm… tasty!

Ham Salad Filled Avocados

These ham salad filled avocados reminded me of a similar dish we used to eat in Lima, Peru. They’re fresh, light, and very tasty. The salad is nice and creamy and smooth and would be great just by itself. The mandarin oranges add a fantastic explosion of citrus flavor. Finally, there’s the perfectly ripe and creamy avocado. These ham salad-filled avocados are a perfect light lunch on a summer day.

You Can’t Go Wrong With Avocados

Fortunately, avocados were on sale here last week. They’re very versatile and probably my favorite fruit. They’re definitely my favorite when they are filled with salad.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Honey-Chipotle Glazed Ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

I’m a big fan of cooking honey-chipotle glazed ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy. The ham gets a nice roasted flavor, a bit of a crispy outside, and a super-moist inside. This time I started with a 10 pound pressed ham, which I scored (a technique I need to practice) and then glazed as it cooked. No mess, no fuss, and mighty darned good in the end. The glaze has a bit of sweet and a definite kick to it. Chipotles not only add spiciness, they add a bit of smokiness, giving the ham an almost char-grilled flavor. Fantastic!

Lots And Lots Of Ham. Everywhere!

Some of the ham I sliced thick, to eat as ham steaks. Some I chopped for omelets. And most I sliced super-thin for fantastic sandwiches. Honey-Chipotle Glazed Ham on the Char-Broil Big Easy leaves you with a bunch of ham, so you can cut it and serve it several different ways.

Smoked and Glazed Spiral-Sliced Ham

Spiral-cut hams from the grocery store are already cooked, and often smoked. That doesn’t mean that they can’t get even more awesome with a little more time on a smoker. A sweet glaze doesn’t hurt either. The end result is a lightly smoky flavored ham with a deliciously sweet crust. Like this smoked and glazed spiral-sliced ham that disappeared in no time.

The Perfect Ham

This smoked and glazed spiral-sliced ham was perfect for sandwiches, salads, and just eaten as-is. It has the perfect smoky flavor without being overpowering.

I prefer to use fruit or nut woods when I smoke unless I want a heavier smoke flavor. Pecan, apple or cherry are my favorites. I used apple for this ham.

Your favorite BBQ rub a honey-flavored rub works well here

For the basting sauce

¼ cup maple syrup
½ stick salted butter melted

Instructions

Fire up a smoker for cooking at 225 F. You can also make this in an oven or on a grill over indirect heat, but be careful to not dry out the ham – keep the temperature low and baste it often.
Add 2 small chunks of cherry or apple wood. Do not add very much wood or it will over-power the ham, since it is already smoked.
Sprinkle the ham with the rub and massage it into the meat. Transfer the ham to the smoker.
Combine the syrup and butter.
Every 1 hour, baste the ham with the basting sauce.
Continue cooking for about 5 hours or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 F. Remember, the ham is already cooked. You’re just warming it and adding flavor.
Let the ham rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.

Ham and Egg Sandwiches

My wife proclaimed this to be the best egg salad she’s had. I’m surely not going to argue with her, either. It’s light, fluffy and tasty, and goes perfectly with thin-sliced ham. Nothing fancy here, just great ham and egg sandwiches. The original recipe was meant to make finger sandwiches, which you could do, but if I’m coming I’d prefer the full-sized version, please!

Make It Your Way

I chopped the ham to give it more of a shaved ham feel, a little lighter than just sliced ham. I think it went better with the airy egg salad. You don’t have to do that, and in fact, you really don’t need the ham at all. No matter how you do it, these ham and egg sandwiches are a delight.
