Deviled Ham- a great way to use up leftover ham.

Quick and Easy Recipe

You can whip up Deviled Ham in only about 5 minutes. Refrigerate overnight and the flavors only get better. 🙂

What Is Deviled Ham?

Also referrred to as Ham Salad, it is a retro recipe that is similar to tuna salad or chicken salad. It is typically made with leftover ham, celery and onion with mayonnaise as a creamy base.

It’s salty, creamy, and a little spicy and there’s no better way to bring new life to leftover Easter ham.

Diced leftover ham is processed with mayonnaise, cream cheese, onion, Tabasco sauce, and mustard until it is finely minced.

How To Serve

Deviled Ham can be served as a spread on crackers or as a sandwich filling. It is also great on cucumber slices as an appetizer.

Recipe Tip

If you don’t have a food processor, you can very finely diced the ham and mix everything by hand.

Variations

This recipe is really flexible. Add more mustard of hot sauce if you like. Sweet pickle relish is a nice addition too.

I like the creaminess of adding some cream cheese, but you can use all mayo if you like.

How To Store

Deviled Ham is actually better a day after it is made and it can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. I don’t recommend freezing it.
