Yummy Ham With Corn Pudding

Yummy Ham with Corn Pudding is a fabulous recipe featuring ham and corn. Ymmy ham with corn pudding is an example of classic American home cooking, with a lot of sweet flavor that kids will love. It’s an easy, tasty, casual meal that can be made equally well with leftover ham.

Ingredients:

• 1 15.5-ounce can creamed corn
• 1 6-ounce can evaporated milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
• 4 medium yams, peeled
• 2 8-ounce smoked ham steaks, or 4 thick slices canned ham
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Lightly spray an 8" x 8" square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the corn, milk, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Pour into the baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden.
3. While the pudding is in the oven, poke the yams with a knife or fork. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook until a knife inserts easily into a yam, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Heat the ham steaks in a large, lightly greased skillet, turning to heat evenly, 1 to 2 minutes per side depending on thickness.
5. Slice the yams lengthwise and top each with a dab of the butter. Serve the yams and ham with the corn pudding.
