- Add ham to corn chowder, potato bisque or creamy split pea soup.

- Add ham to our Chicken Pot Pie recipe.
- Try a springy dinnertime strata with ham, asparagus, aromatic leeks, aged Comté or Manchego, hunks of bread, and a custardy bind of eggs and cream.

Corn and potatoes thicken and flavor this hearty chowder.
This comfort casserole combines eggs, ham and spinach.
This casserole is comfort food at its best.
