I am always looking for unique ways to use leftovers. My family is not a fan of them, so I aim to get creative. Since we just celebrated Easter a few short weeks ago, I have leftover sliced ham frozen. This healthy, leftover ham recipe is one of my favorite ways to use leftovers, especially after a holiday. Of course, it’s free of gluten, dairy, and soy and easy to make for a quick weeknight dinner.

How to Make This Recipe

To make this healthy leftover ham recipe start by getting out your leftover ham. If the ham is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. You will also need baking potatoes, a package of frozen broccoli, and honey mustard sauce.
Grab my recipe HERE.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash and scrub your potatoes, then pat dry. Pierce each potato with a knife. Wrap each potato in foil, and bake for about 1 hour, or until soft. (If pressed for time, microwave each potato for about 5-7 minutes).
  3. While the potatoes are baking, cut up the leftover ham slices into small cubes and place them into a small bowl. Set it aside.
  4. Mix up the honey mustard sauce and set it aside.
  5. Cook the broccoli according to the package directions.
  6. When the potatoes are finished remove them from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes while you heat up the ham.
  7. Cut open each potato. Add ham then broccoli. Top with the honey mustard sauce.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

How Long is Leftover Ham Good For?

Leftover ham can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container or tightly sealed plastic bag. After 4 days the leftover ham can be frozen for up to 1-2 months. To freeze leftover ham, wrap the ham tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place it in a sealed plastic freezer bag.

What are the Best Side Dishes to Serve with Leftover Ham?

There are many vegetables that pair well with ham. Serving leftover ham with any variation of broccoli, asparagus, or potatoes will make for a great side dish. Green beans are also a great side dish option.

What Can you do with Leftovers?

Avoid throwing out your leftovers, and use these ideas instead.

Make Soup

Leftover chicken, beef and ham are great for making soups. Check out my Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Instant Pot, Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup.

Make Pasta Dishes

Using leftovers in a pasta dish turns them into an entirely new dinner. Check out my Instant Pot, Gluten-Free, Chicken Pasta, and Leftover Turkey Pasta Recipe.

Use Leftovers For Lunches

Have the leftovers for lunch the next day or even later in the week.

I hope you enjoy this recipe. Give it a try for an easy weeknight meal. Why not try it tonight?

One of the biggest motivators for my recipes is my family. I am big on sharing family meals and dinners. I mean it seriously just warms my heart when we all come together and share a meal. 
That feeling of connection through food is so universal. When I was first diagnosed with food allergies it felt like I lost that connection. 
Another HUGE motivator for me is YOU! Yes, that's right YOU! I want you and your family to feel that connection through sharing meals together despite food allergies.
