Super Easy Ham Recipe for Your Crockpot

If you're searching the web for a way to fix your Easter ham, here it is!

This recipe is super easy, thanks to the crockpot! My husband loves when I throw potatoes in with the ham, because the glaze makes the potatoes sweet.

Thick slices of any leftover ham are perfect on a roll or Amish White Bread with Ken's Steak House Honey Mustard! Mmmm, my favorite!

CROCKPOT HAM

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish (you will usually find this in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, near the eggs and yeast)
1/4 cup cola-flavored soda (or 'pop' as I call it!)
3-4 lb precooked ham

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, mustard, and horseradish. Moisten with just enough cola to make a smooth paste. Reserve remaining cola. Place ham in slow cooker and rub entire ham with brown sugar glaze. Pour remaining cola around ham.

Cover. Cook on LOW for 6-10 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours (if you do add potatoes, the longer time is better to be sure they are tender).

*NOTE* If you do not have dry mustard or horseradish, you can substitute 2 teaspoons of a spicy brown prepared mustard.

Nacho Potato Soup

A good friend shared this recipe with me, and it has become one of our family's favorite soups!

I did make a few changes, but either version is delicious!

First, I let my Nacho Potato Soup cook in the crockpot (about 4 hours on low, or until potatoes are tender)! I love my crockpot and use it whenever I can!

I substituted chicken broth instead of water, because I usually have a leftover carton to use up.

And, because I rarely, if ever, buy Velveeta, I added 1 - 8 oz brick of cream cheese, softened and cubed, during the last hour or so of cooking.


(I should have sprinkled with parsley for a little color, but I was so excited to eat, I almost forgot to take ANY picture)! ;-)

Whether you stick to the original recipe or use my tweaks, I think this thick, creamy, and a little bit spicy soup will quickly become one of your favorites, too!

NACHO POTATO SOUP

1 pkg (5 1/4 oz) au gratin potatoes
1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
2 cups water
2 cups milk
2 cups cubed process American cheese
dash of hot pepper sauce, optional
minced fresh parsley, optional

In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the potatoes and sauce mix, corn, tomatoes, and water; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add milk, cheese, and hot pepper sauce, if desired; cook and stir until the cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Yield: 6-8 servings (2 quarts)

Recommend: YES

Creamy Cheesy Chicken Stroganoff

Add this dish to the not-so-photogenic... but super yummy!

I've made this dish (without the cream cheese) for years, but the cream cheese added that extra oomph to put it over the top into ultimate comfort food!

The next time I make this (with the cream cheese), I want to try it with ranch dressing seasoning mix!


CREAMY CHEESY CHICKEN STROGANOFF

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Place chicken in slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine salad dressing mix and soups. Pour over chicken. Cook on low 5 to 6 hours.

Cube and add cream cheese, during last half hour to hour of cooking time. Cook on high until cream cheese is melted and smooth.

Serve over pasta, rice, or potatoes.

Recommend: YES
