~ Leftover Ham & Creamed Cabbage Pot ~ Awesome! image

Finally used up the last of my Christmas hams and talk about delicious...this was so much more than I expected. I used what I had and I wouldn't change a thing. The ham was melt in your mouth tender, along with the cabbage. I hope you try it sometime. I served it with a skillet of my Southern cornbread. Absolute comfort food!...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 - 2 1/2 c cooked ham, cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp minced garlic - i use the chunky garlic paste
5 Tbsp butter
1/2 c rice
1 - 103/4 oz can cream of mushroom/ garlic soup
2 c half & half
1 c milk or as much needed
4 c chopped cabbage
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 Tbsp horseradish paste
1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet or chicken fryer as I used, melt butter over medium heat, when bubbly add onion, garlic, ham and rice. Continue stirring and cooking until rice is golden and onion becomes tender.
  • 2. In a bowl, whisk together the soup and half and half. Pour this mixture into pot, stir - then add the cabbage, salt, pepper, pepper flakes and horseradish. Cover and simmer for 45 - 55 minutes or until cabbage and rice is tender. Add the cup of milk if becomes too thick, before the rice is tender. I ended up adding a full cup. Let set for 10 minutes with lid on, before serving. This insures the rice to be cooked.
  • 3. I served this yummy dish with a pan of hot corn bread.
