CREAMED HAM & POTATOES
My family has made this for generations. It's great for a tight budget because potatoes are cheap and you don't need much ham [although more never hurts = )]. We always serve this with peas - sometimes on the side, sometimes all mixed together.

Steps:
- Place potatoes and onion in a large pot with enough water to cover by an inch. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove cover, reduce heat to med-high and cook an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are easily pierced with a paring knife. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Combine flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Whisk into butter until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring liquid has been fully incorporated before adding more. Cook 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, whisking frequently.
- Add mustard to sauce. *Sauce should have a strong flavor on its own as the potatoes mellow it out a lot.*.
- Combine drained potatoes, sauce, and ham in the large pot by stirring with a heavy spoon. This will break down some of the potatoes and the released starches will finish binding up the sauce.
- Add remaining salt and pepper, more to taste if needed, and heat through.

Steps:
- 1. Cook Minute Rice according to package instructions. One cup will make 2 cups cooked. Cook cabbage until tender, drain
- 2. Grease 9 x 13 inch casserole. Put rice in bottom and spread it out. Put cooked cabbage on top of rice and evenly distribute it.
- 3. In a bowl combine 2 tablespoons of the butter and the bread crumbs and set aside. I use sliced bread that is getting stale and tear it up into small pieces rather than the fine bread crumbs.
- 4. In a frying pan cook onions in remaining butter and olive oil until soft. Stir in flour, salt and pepper stirring constantly. It will quickly form a paste like product on the onions. Stir in the milk and continue cooking and stirring until mixture thickens and boils for 1 minute. Add ham and heat 1 minute more.
- 5. Pour over the top of the cabbage and spread it out evenly. Cover with the swiss cheese. Top with the bread crumbs and bake at 350° for 30 - 45 minutes until it is bubbly and the bread is starting to brown a bit.

CREAMED RICE WITH ENGLISH PEAS AND COUNTRY HAM
Steven Satterfield, the chef at Miller Union in Atlanta, published a version of this recipe for a kind of Lowcountry risotto in his cookbook, "Root to Leaf." He uses Carolina Gold rice, a heritage long-grain variety, but any good long-grain rice will do. Likewise, feel free to substitute other hams for the country ham called for in the recipe. But use the very best peas you can find or, failing that, asparagus tips or tiny radishes. Not rich enough for you? Add a poached egg.

Steps:
- Put butter in a wide saucepan or Dutch oven set over medium heat and cook until the butter foams. Add rice and stir continuously until the grains turn opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add white wine and stir until the rice absorbs the liquid. Add 1/4 of a cup water, stirring until the rice absorbs it. Repeat 3 times, until the rice has absorbed a total of 1 cup of water.
- Slowly add 1/2 cup of hot stock, stirring until the rice absorbs it. Then add 1/2 cup of cream, again stirring until the rice absorbs it. Repeat until all the stock and cream is absorbed and the rice is tender and creamy, about 40 minutes. Stir in the ham and peas. Taste and salt if needed. Shower with grated Parmesan and serve hot.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham. A bone-in ham will give the creamed ham a more flavorful broth, but a boneless ham is easier to work with. If using a bone-in ham, be sure to remove the bone before serving.
- Cook the ham properly. The ham should be cooked until it is tender and juicy. If the ham is overcooked, it will be dry and tough.
- Make a flavorful roux. The roux is the base of the creamed ham sauce. It is important to cook the roux until it is golden brown. A dark roux will give the sauce a richer flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is another important ingredient in the creamed ham sauce. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese for a more flavorful sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste. The creamed ham sauce should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Creamed ham is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious creamed ham that your family and friends will love.
