Being from the poorer side of town, I grew up on economical dishes passed down from my Baba from Czechoslovakia. This is still a favorite of my German husband and Czech family.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb ground leftover baked ham
1 lb box of noodles, either wide, elbow or your choice of a noodle with substance, not spaghetti type
1/8 lb butter or margarine
3-4 dash(es) onion powder (not onion salt)
5 dash(es) ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. After baking a ham I grind the leftovers and freeze in 1 pound packs. Defrost 1 pound in microwave for this and keep warm. Do not heat in pot or it will dry out.
  • 2. Cook the noodles in a dutch oven per package directions for al dente and drain in colandar. Put noodles back in pot.
  • 3. Cut the butter up on top of the noodles and toss until melted and mixed well without breaking up the noodles.
  • 4. Add the heated ground ham to the noodles, sprinkling onion powder and ground black pepper to taste on top and toss.
  • 5. Serve in bowls..depending on the size of the bowl, you can feed a nice size family with this or have it for more than one meal.
