    One of the best things about holiday dinners is the leftovers!  We always have ham for Easter and Christmas so there is always plenty of leftover ham in the fridge to work with. In fact, we always buy the largest ham we can just so that we have enough left over ham after the holiday.

    I love this easy Crock-Pot ham for Christmas. You can also make Instant Pot Ham even faster than the slow cooker!

    And honestly, after all of the cooking and baking I do before any holiday gathering, I like to keep things simple for the next few days. And that, my friends, is why leftover ham recipes rock!

    So wondering what to do with leftover ham? Whether you're looking for a cheesy ham casserole or a hearty ham soup or a simple ham salad, you've come to the right place. I've got a bunch of easy recipes using leftover ham right here.

    I've even got you covered with leftover ham for breakfast!
