Ham Pot Pie

Do you have leftover ham from the holidays and not a clue how to feed your family one more meal of ham? and hoping they won’t notice! LOL.

Or, are you just feeling the post-holiday slump and stuck with meal planning ideas?

You need to create a pot of nourishing Ham Pot Pie with homemade noodles and ham bone broth!

It’s not actually pie. And it is easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups flour

• 1 egg

• 1/3 cup water

• Salt & pepper

• Ham and ham bone broth

• Pealed and thinly sliced potatoes (adjust based on how many people you are feeding, but I usually prepare 3 pounds of potatoes)

Directions:

1. Prepare your potatoes.

2. Add the ham broth and ham to a large stock pot and bring to a boil. If you need to make ham bone broth, add ham bones, ham and water to a stock pot and allow it to simmer for a few hours. Then remove the bones, fat, etc.

3. Make your noodles:

4. Wisk together water, egg, salt and pepper.

5. Add flour 1/2 a cup at a time. You may need to adjust the amount of flour depending on what type of flour you are using, so just add a little at a time.

6. Mix with floured hands to make a soft dough. You want it to be soft and pliable, but not sticky.

7. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. This will depend on how thick or thin you like your noodles. I’ve never measured the thickness of mine, but I would guess 1/4 inch.

8. Cut your noodles into 1 inch squares using a pizza cutter or knife. I am never exact, part of the homemade charm is odd shaped noodles, right?!?

9. To the boiling broth add a layer of prepared potato slices, then a layer of noodles.

10. Alternate adding potatoes and noodles until you have added all of them.

11. Be sure the top layer is covered with broth, add more broth or water as needed to cover the layers.

12. Bring the pot back to a low boil and boil for 30min or until the potatoes are soft and the dough is cooked. Stir as needed to ensure the bottom does not scald, but do not over stir.

13. Enjoy!!

This is another family recipe! Slightly adapted from a recipe that was taught to me by my Great Grandmother Shirley.

Notes: This can be doubled for feeding a crowd, but it is best to make each batch of noodles individually. Adjust amounts of noodles, potatoes and ham based on how many you are feeding.

Do you need potatoes? We have a few left in our market as of 1/2/24, stop by this week before we close on January 7th for the winter season!
