Delicious Stuffed Ham Recipe: A Perfect Holiday Delight

Ingredients You Will Need

To create a mouthwatering stuffed ham, gather the following ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds of ham (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 cup of finely chopped onions
• 1 cup of diced celery
• 2 cups of bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Cooking Instructions for Perfect Stuffed Ham

Follow these steps for your delightful stuffed ham:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the onions, celery, and bell pepper until they’re tender.
3. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet, followed by the bread crumbs and chicken broth. Mix well until the stuffing is moist but not soggy.
4. If using a bone-in ham, take care not to pierce the bone while making the stuffing pocket. Stuff the ham thoroughly with the filling.
5. Place the stuffed ham in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the weight of the ham, until fully cooked.

Serving Suggestions and Storage

Once cooked, allow the stuffed ham to rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve with your favorite side dishes for a balanced meal.

For leftovers, wrap them well in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator. Enjoy your delectable creation for days!
