This Ham Cheese Ball calls for only 3 ingredients and is always a party favorite. I like to use leftover ham from Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter.
Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited to be hosting my first Giveaway! You read the title, It's a Cooks Ham Giveaway!!!!! No, I won't be giving away an actual Cook's Ham, but just as nice.... I will be giving away a $15 Coupon good towards the purchase of one of Cook's wonderful hams.
The kind folks over at The Cook's Ham Company were nice enough to contact Mommy's Kitchen and offer this awesome coupon to one of my lucky readers. I thought that was very generous of them. This coupon will come in handy to use just in time for the upcoming holidays.
We love Cooks Ham and at my house we eat the bone in hams year round. Of course our favorite is the glazed spiral hams but those are saved for the special holidays such as Christmas, New Years or Easter. What would a holiday be without a beautiful Cooks Ham at your table.
Also, to make the holiday season go more smoothly, check out Cooks Ham Recipe Ideas for the Cook's Ham Holiday Idea-Casts. Beginning today Nov. 14Th 2008 and continuing each week through the New Year, Cooks Ham will be offering helpful tips to de-stress the holiday season.
Cook’s Ham is a quick and easy meal because it takes so little time to prepare, but Cook's Idea Casts also offer tips on everything from table scape ideas and recipe tips to how to get the kids involved with holiday preparations. Now doesn't that just make at least some things a whole lot easier.
All you have to do to enter for you chance to win the $15 off coupon is make a comment on this post with one of your favorite ham recipes or tips. It doesn't have to be anything fancy just a favorite recipe that utilizes ham. If you don't have a recipe then maybe just a special way you like to prepare a dish that has ham as one of the ingredients.
In one week, I will choose a post number at random and notify the winner. I will also post a few runner - ups and they too will receive a Cook's Ham Coupon for $5 off. I will start off by posting one of my favorite Ham Cheese Ball recipe. It's really simple and only requires just a few ingredients.
This cheese ball is so easy to prepare, make sure to chill overnight so the flavors have time to set. This is a perfect appetizer for any Holiday or Party. You can also add shredded Cheddar cheese and or black olives or just ham and green onions that my favorite combination. Either way it's delicious.

My great uncle who was a butcher taught us to bake a ham with a mustard/brown sugar glaze. He just slathered the mustard all over the outside of the ham and pressed brown sugar into it. Kind of messy but it tastes really good!

my husbands favorite is a lunch snack once he is tired of the ham sandwiches. we dice up the ham, add some onion, shreaded colby jack and a heaping spoon of mayo. mix it up and season to taste. Put it in a flat out (tortilla) and you ahve something different with left overs.
I love your page and EVERYTHING looks so good,I wish you was related to me LOL! The ham sounds so good too(drools)
QIUCK COOK MAC & CHEESE w/ HAM
3 c. cooked macaroni (about 1 1/2c. uncooked)
2/3 c. evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. shredded cheese
1 c. ham, chopped or cubed
After cooking macaroni, drain and rinse with cool water and return to pan. Add evaporated milk and cheese. Cook and stir gently until cheese melts.
for a thinner sauce, add a little more milk. Add in ham.
You can use any kind or combination of cheese. Makes 6 servings (about 2/3 c. each) I usually double it for my family of 6. :)
Not only is this a favorite because my kids LOVE it, it is sooo easy and frugal. Love your blog!

Happy Weekend!
Great post!
SCRUMCHIOUS HOLIDAY HAM
I prepare my ham by piercing it with whole cloves randomly scattered all over (about 20 of them) then drizzle the ham with 2 Tbsp or more of honey, pour 8-12 oz gingerale in the bottom of the pan and cover with foil so it steams as it cooks.
I ususally serve it with pineapple souffle (if you arent familiar with it I can get you that recipe, its really a big hit here in Pennsylvania) but if I dont ahve the pineaplle souffle,I just put some pineapple rings in with the ham for the alst 10-15 minutes to warm them up and then use them to garnish the ham on the serving platter.
Happy Holidays Tina, I love your site and the family ahs been thrilled with all the recipes I've tried so far. Karen
Glaze it with sweet mustard, brown sugar, honey and a little BUTTER! Maybe a tad of real maple syrup!
