Leftover Ham Stuff

Submitted by Chef shapeweaver

"I had some ham leftover from last Christmas in my freezer and I figured I better do something with it. So, this recipe is the end result. Feel free to change the veggies if your family doesn't like peas. This will serve 4, with leftovers. If you try it I hope you enjoy it. Submitted to "ZAAR" on July 31st,2007"

I nice, easy, quick way to use up extra ham. Be careful how much salt you put in this one - it's almost too much to use the whole 1/2 teaspoon.
