HAM AND BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the ham, onion, green pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in tomatoes, beans, picante sauce, tomato sauce and water if desired. Bring to a boil. Stir in the olives, bouillon, thyme, salt and pepper. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with cheese.

HAM CHILI

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan or dutch oven, over medium heat, cook bacon and onions until tender.
• Add tomatoes, stirring to break up (or use diced tomatoes.) Stir in beans, ketchup, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin and hot pepper flakes.
• Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
• Add ham, cook 10 minutes longer to warm through.

GINGER CHILE GLAZED HAM WITH FLAMBE FINISH

Steps:

• Temper the ham by bringing it out of the fridge 90 minutes before cooking. (This will allow it to heat more evenly and not dry out.)
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan fitted with a rack. Using a paring knife, score the fatty side of the ham by gently slicing lines 1/2-inch apart, crisscrossing on an angle to create a diamond pattern. This will allow the glaze to soak into the ham. Add the chicken stock to the bottom of the pan, then cover the pan in foil. Cook for 40 minutes, basting every 10 to 15 minutes.
• To make the glaze, warm the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and chile flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, honey, lime juice and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer, then cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Set aside the glaze in a bowl, leaving about 1/4 cup behind in the pan for finishing.
• Remove the ham from the oven and raise the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the foil from the ham and discard the drippings from the pan. Brush the ham liberally with half of the glaze. Return to the oven and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, then brush again. Bake again until dark and caramelized, another 15 minutes. Remove the ham to a rimmed platter.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 cup glaze to a simmer over medium-low heat. If using the bourbon, remove the glaze from heat and add the bourbon. Using a lighter, flambe the alcohol in the pan and very carefully pour over the ham. (The alcohol can be omitted and you can just put the warm glaze over the ham.)

CHILI CRISP HAM AND CHEESE OMELET

• Add ham and Cheddar cheese to one end of the cooked egg in the skillet. Flip the other side of the egg over the ham and cheese mixture. Cook until cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.

HAM AND GREEN CHILI ROLL-UPS

HAM, CHEESE, AND EGG CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray, making sure the spray coats all sides of the cup.
• Cut ham in half and place 1 piece in each cup, pressing it down so it forms a basket in the cup. Sprinkle a small amount of Gruyere cheese on the bottom of the ham.
• Crack eggs into a a measuring cup. Add milk, basil, chives, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined.
• Pour egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before using a spoon to slide the cups out onto a plate.
