HOW TO MAKE HONEY BAKED HAM

Decades ago, a friend showed up at a holiday party with a standout Honey Baked Ham that got everyone’s attention. It was and continues to be the ONLY homemade honey baked ham recipe I’ve ever liked.

Not only is this honey baked ham unbelievably easy to make, it’s restaurant-quality ham for a fraction of the price. Perfect for Christmas, Easter, or anytime your family craves a simple yet amazing ham.

This Honey Baked Ham tastes like you’ve spent much more time on it than you really did; expect requests for the recipe. This is the easy honey ham recipe you’ll return to over an over again. We love it paired with this Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes or this Garlic-Butter Roasted Potatoes! ✨

HOMEMADE HONEY BAKED HAM INGREDIENTS

Just look at the golden brown goodness. You’ll need just 5 simple ingredients:

  • Brown Sugar provides a warm molasses sweetness to the sauce. Be sure to pack it down tight when measuring.
  • Whole Grain Mustard, sometimes known as country style mustard, is key to the delectable honey mustard sauce. It’s not your average yellow mustard.
  • Honey works together with the brown sugar to bring a tantalizing sweetness to the salty ham. This honey is my favorite, as it’s raw, unfiltered, organic, and affordable.
  • Apple Cider or Juice brings a sweet acidity to the basting sauce. Be sure you’re getting juice and not vinegar.
  • Spiral-Sliced Ham
  • Here’s a tidbit about coarse ground or country style mustard, with visible mustard seeds within. It makes a notable difference in flavor. We use it for this Honey Mustard Chicken with Curry, which tastes amazing.

HOW TO MAKE HONEY BAKED HAM: KEY TIPS

  • Be sure to get the spiral sliced ham if you want ease of slicing; plus, the juices really sink in with the pre-sliced ham cooking in the oven.
  • Basting sauce can be made several days ahead of time and reheated when ready to use.
  • Don’t skimp on the basting sessions – baste ham every 15 minutes during baking, for juicy results.
  • If you’d like to serve the ham with slices arranged in a dish for easy serving, simply arrange the slices in your choice of serving dish and brush the sauce in between slices and on top. This ensures that every slice will be juicy and flavorful.

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 lbs ham, spiral-sliced, fully cooked
  • 1 cup apple cider, juice (not vinegar)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • ¼ cup whole grain mustard, prepared mustard jar with whole mustard seeds
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions:

  • Preheat: Heat oven to 350F with rack on lower position.
  • Make Sauce: Mix together apple cider, brown sugar, mustard, and honey in a bowl. Mix well to fully incorporate basting sauce.
  • Bake: Place ham in a 13×9 baking dish. Coat ham with a generous amount of sauce. Bake for 60-70 minutes, basting thoroughly every 15 minutes.
  • Serve: To serve pre-cut slices of ham, arrange slices neatly on a serving dish and brush more sauce all over ham slices. Serve with leftover sauce.

    If serving ham whole, be sure to have sauce available for drizzling. The sauce is what makes this ham so great!

Equipment

  • Basting Brush
  • Baking Dish, Oven Proof

Notes

  • Honey mustard sauce is more of a saucy au jus consistency, rather than a thicker gravy texture.
  • If you prefer your sauce thicker: place sauce in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. In a small bowl, stir and dissolve 1 TB cornstarch in 2 TB cool water to make a cornstarch slurry. Stir in slurry a little at a time to the boiling sauce, adding only as much as needed until sauce is thickened to your liking.
  • This ham is amazing with Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes or Garlic-Butter Potatoes!

Million dollar spaghetti

This million dollar spaghetti is like the perfect mash up of spaghetti and lasagna. It’s layers of spaghetti noodles, yummy marinara sauce, a cheese blend (that of course includes cream cheese!) and, oh yeah, more cheese! I really can’t even express in words how dreamy this dish is! Just think of your favorite pasta dish (mine is Bacon Carbonara), and times that by 10. Ok maybe that’s a little overkill, but seriously, this casserole is a must try.

This recipe takes about as long as a lasagna recipe, so make sure you plan ahead. The hardest part is smelling it and knowing that it needs a while to cool off before you can cut into it. But while this delicious dish is in the oven, you can be making your wedge salad to go along with it! Let’s get on to the good stuff and make this yummy recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of ground beef
  • 1 jar of spaghetti sauce
  • 8 oz of cream cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ lb cottage cheese (equals 1 cup)
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick)
  • 1 pkg spaghetti 16 oz
  • Grated cheddar cheese

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°. Boil your spaghetti noodles until al dente (firm). Drain and set aside until
ready to assemble.
Combine the cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese until well blended.
Brown your hamburger and when done, drain well. Combine the hamburger with your spaghetti sauce.
Put a few slices of butter into a 9×13 pan then pour half of your spaghetti noodles on top.
Take your cream cheese mixture and pour on top of the noodles. Spread well over noodles.
Pour the rest of the noodles on top of the cream cheese mixture. Put a few more slices of butter on top of
the noodles.
Pour your spaghetti and meat sauce on top of your noodles.
Now it is ready to put into the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, pour the desired amount of grated
cheese on top and return to the oven for 15 minutes to allow cheese to mel

AN ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ITALIAN MEATLOAF

My family loves this delicious Italian meatloaf that is essentially one big giant meatball. It’s comforting and satisfying, and the smell of it baking in the oven always lures everyone to the kitchen. I serve it with a big Italian salad and Parmesan smashed potatoes, but it is also delicious with pasta.  If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, the meatloaf is even better the next day, sliced and topped with melted cheese in a warm sandwich. To make the recipe quick and easy, I use a food processor to chop the vegetables. I also cheat and use a good-quality store-bought marinara sauce; the recipe only calls for 3/4 cup, so there is no need to make it from scratch. It’s easy to make two meatloaves, so you might as well—one to freeze and the other to bake straight away.

Ingredients:

1.5 pounds ground beef

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a fork, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3: Add the eggs to the meat mixture and continue to mix until the eggs are fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 4: Transfer the meat mixture to the greased loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf shape.

Step 5: Pour the marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf, spreading it evenly. Reserve a small portion of the marinara sauce for later.

Step 6: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 7: After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 8: Once cooked, remove the Italian Meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 9: Serve slices of this delectable Italian Meatloaf with the reserved marinara sauce, and pair it with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.

Note: Feel free to add a personal touch by incorporating other Italian ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or chopped olives into the meat mixture for added flavor and texture.

Get ready to savor the taste of Italy with every bite of this absolutely delicious Italian Meatloaf. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that will leave your loved ones asking for seconds. Buon appetito!

This dive for the Mississippi sin!

Want to know what dish we’ll be bringing to every party and game day this fall? This dive for the Mississippi sin! Not only is this dip addictive, but it’s also more portable, which is obvious considering we baked the dip right into the bread.
Yes, all you have to do is dig a hole that runs roughly the length of your loaf, making sure to leave enough loaf in the bottom to support the dip and keep everything in. Inside the bread, then you bake it and it’s ready to go.
Well, what is causing this decline in the Mississippi, you wonder? A slice of heaven in the form of sour cream, cream cheese, ham and cheddar cheese.
We added Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion powder to give it a little extra kick, and let us tell you: This stuff is good. Like, it’s too good to miss well. And we really love how it self-contains in the bread, so you can just tear off the pieces and use the cut portion of the bread to dip into that thick, melted, cheesy layer.
If you really want to go over it, go ahead and dice the diced part, brush it with butter, and broil for 3 minutes… you’ve got crunchy, golden perfection that can really handle the weight of this heavy dip. Sin, in fact, in the best possible way!
Coming back to the portability of this bread, you can make the creamy filling and stuff the bread with it, then simply wrap it in aluminum foil and take it wherever there is an oven. You can take this dip over to a friend’s house and cook it there, making sure it’s served when piping hot and everyone gets some of that oven-fresh goodness. Ah, these things are so delicious, you won’t be able to have enough – we think that means you just have to make two!

Ingredients:

1 package (16 ounces) sour cream, room temperature
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup pork, cut into cubes or strips
1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 loaf of French bread
Optional crackers
Green onion garnish

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use a serrated bread knife to cut through the center of the baguette, making sure to leave enough breadcrumbs at the bottom.
In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream and cream cheese until smooth, then add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion powder.
Add the cheddar cheese and ham cubes, then transfer to a baking dish.
Wrap in aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, garnish with green onion cubes, and serve with bread and biscuits.

Oklahoma fried onion burger

A few weekends ago, we were all watching Cook’s Country together (yes, my 5-year-old loves watching cooking shows. It warms my heart). They were doing a thing called Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers and they looked delicious.
For some reason this episode has aired at least 3 or 4 times in the span of 2 weeks and I finally told SP I had to do it. So he picked up some ground beef from the store and I was planning on making some beef on Saturday for dinner. Then we had a ridiculously huge lunch and couldn’t bear the thought of eating again. The minced meat went to the freezer, where it was quickly forgotten. I finally remembered I wanted to make the recipe and put the burgers on the menu a couple of nights ago. It was so good that I had to write it down right away.

How to make potatoes and meatballs

Layer potatoes and meatballs with bechamel sauce. Is one of the most popular French treats enjoyed by everyone around the globe. It is a super easy dish to make, requires a little effort and time but is worth it. It is a perfect dish for a typical supper or even for an intimate family dinner for any occasion. Give this recipe a must-try for some cheesy and oh-so-yummy layer potatoes and meatballs with bechamel sauce. Once you try this recipe, it is going to be one of your favorites!

Ingredients

Potatoes & Meatballs

  • 3 Potatoes Peeled & boiled
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • 500 grams Minse
  • 1 Rsp Parsley Chopped
  • 1 Pinch Paprika
  • 125 Grams Mozzarella Cheese
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Bechamel Sauce

  • 5 Tblsp Butter
  • 4 Tblsp Plain Flour
  • 4 Cups Milk
  • 2 Tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Nutmeg

Instructions

Bechamel Sauce

  • Before anything else, we’re going to make a basic béchamel sauce for use later in the recipe!
  • First, get a medium saucepan and melt your butter over medium-low heat.
  • Add in flour and stir it all up until it gets smooth.
  • Keep cooking your mixture until it all turns a light golden color, for about six or seven minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat your milk in a separate pan until it’s almost at a boil.
  • Once it’s hot enough, gradually add your hot milk one cup at a time to the butter, continually whisking the entire time until it’s smooth.
  • Once all the milk is incorporated, bring the whole thing to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring it constantly. Season it at the end with salt and nutmeg and you’re good to go

Potatoes & Meatballs

  • Now that your sauce is ready, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Next, get a big bowl and throw in your package of beef along with you chopped parsley and paprika. Add a little bit of salt and pepper as well.
  • Once all the ingredients are together, mix together all the ingredients until they’re evenly combined.
  • Next, peel three potatoes and boil them until they’re semi-soft, around seven minutes. Once they’re ready, take them out and chop them into slices arranging them around the bottom of a round glass baking dish. Lay one layer flat on the bottom and arrange another layer around the sides as well.
  • After that, get your meat mixture and work it into ice cream scoop-sized meatballs—the entire thing should form about 15 meatballs.
  • Next, arrange them on your slices of potato that you laid out earlier.
  • Once you’ve got your meatballs placed together, use your remaining slices of potato to put walls between the meatballs so each one has its own compartment.
  • Pour your béchamel sauce into each one of the “compartments” until it’s relatively full and top the entire thing with a thin layer of shredded mozzarella.
  • Finally, throw the entire dish in your preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Once it’s done, you’ll have a deliciously cheesy and creamy French casserole-style dish that the whole family will love!

Notes

If you do not like to use bechamel sauce in your recipes you can replace it with cooking cream (as this does not curdle when cooked)
