Baked Ham

This is a complete classic. Its Canned Ham and its amazing.

Generations of my family grew up on this and I hope you'll try it and pass it down your family line.
Its super easy, the only problem is that it takes a little time to cook but its completely worth the wait!
Its sweetness from the pineapples and brown sugar go perfect with the salty ham and rich cloves. You can have have it that night with some mash potatoes,mac&cheese or vegetable of choice. Refrigerate leftovers and the best part is the next day, toast some bread, warm a couple thin slices of ham with a pineapple slice and some juice on top in the microwave and have a sandwich. Its beyond words good!
Alright down to business!

Ingredients-
Hormel brand, Black Label Canned Ham (3lb)
Dole Pineapple Slices
Domino Light Brown Sugar
Small jar of Cloves

Prep-
In a (I prefer 8inch by 8inch) glass pan but any glass pan will work.
Place Ham in the middle of foil long ways, with about 9-10 inches of extra foil on each side.

Cut squares in top of ham about 1/2 inch deep and spaced 1 inch apart.
Place Cloves in corners of cuts. Place random cloves on sides.

Add brown sugar on top and place pineapple slices on top and a few on the sides(use whole can) and drizzle 1/3 cup of the pineapple juice on top.
Cover in more brown sugar (you'll use about 3/4 of the box)
Fold foil over long ways and meet in middle and roll down together and roll in the sides.
(and Yes I am making the chicken Fajitas at the same time,ha)

Cooking-
Bake at 350F, Center rack for 2 hours
Open top of foil and bake for another 20-30 minutes to dry up and brown on top.

Cut thin and top with juice from pan and pineapples.

Chicken Sausage Sub

Back at it again. Sorry for the delay. Let’s get right back into it!

This is a newly found love. Its stupidly simple and very good!
It’s basically sautéed onions and peppers, chicken sausage in a toasted hoagie bun.
Sounds simple, looks simple, it is simple…Doesn’t taste simple.

Cobblestone mill sub rolls
Half onion
Half bell pepper (I prefer red)
Johnsonville chicken sausage 4-pack (I prefer the chipotle Monterey jack filled ones)

Prep-
Slice onion in half, lay middle side down then slice semi thin.
Cut half pepper in same width strips.
Open package of sausage. Get 2 out. Ha.



Cooking-
Heat medium sauté pan on medium high.
Once hot, throw in onions and peppers. Drizzle a little olive oil, garlic salt and pepper on them.
Just when they start to sweat or you first see some browning on them, add 2 sausage links.

Move oven rack to top, cut and lay bun open-face under the broiler. Toast buns.

Take out sausage when desired brown sexiness is reached. Onions and peppers should be soft.

Place sausage in bun, top with cheese then onions and peppers on top.  Admire the Awesomeness Then Eat.

Corned Beef Hash

Let me just start out with wow. When I was reminded of this meal.. I couldn't buy the items to make it and put it up on here fast enough. I Had completely forgot about this simple and just awesome meal from my childhood.
Now you are going to have to trust me on this one that the flavor is amazing....Because honestly the look of it is disgusting. Ha.

The Flavor is crispy from the fries, salty and hearty from the corned beef and the ketchup on top gives it the twang that it needs. The combination of flavors are classic and powerfully amazing.



Ingredients-
Oreida fries (I Prefer the "Crispers")
Corned Beef Hash
Garlic Salt
Onion Powder
Tonys'
Ketchup



What to do-
Pre-heat oven to specified temp for fries. Place fries on cookie sheet with tin foil and put in oven after it comes to temp, set your timer.
At the same time as starting the fries, have a medium skillet heated on mid-high,place a little butter(like 1/2 teaspoon) in and let it melt.
Put Corned beef in and flatten it out.(This is the part that comes in where you need to ignore the looks and smell, Judge it after you taste the cooked product,ha.)
Put a Nice Coat of Garlic salt on. Some onion powder and Tonys'.


I try to flip it in sections with a spatula as best as possible.
Cook until browned and a little crusty. (about 8-10 minutes,should done right around the time the fries are.)
Put fries on plate and cover with Corned beef. Top with ketchup.
