HAM WITH ONION GRAVY



Ham With Onion Gravy image

I found the original recipe in Quick Cooking. I thought it sounded a bit odd but gave it a try as I was getting tired of grilled ham. We loved it. This was great with mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli. The orginal recipe called for one large onion and 3 tablespoons of veg. oil. I freeze onions so I added one cup of onions and only used one tablespoon of olive oil.
