Bubble N' Squeak - Made w/leftover frozen Christmas ham, potatoes, onion, garlic & shopped cabbage, lots of bacon grease! Myy my my - a heart attack waiting to happen! EEK!

...But T.A.S.T.Y. And good hearty ice-y winter fare.

In a large soup pot w/lid I start w/the bacon grease, onion & garlic, toss in thinly sliced potatoes - almost the fry point - you know when they loose their whiteness but haven't started yet to brown, then add the ham and cabbage last, season w/salt & season all. Throw on a lid or tight foil so the cabbage is steamed. Do not leave the area, but every 3-4 minutes lift the lid and stir the pot so things don't get blackened on the bottom. Your potatoes will be somewhat mooshy when this is done right. It's done when cabbage has gone limp.

Strangely when I pull up bubbleN'squeak on the internet it tells me this is an English dish done w/roast beef, but I learned it from Hubster's grandmother - as an 'old school' Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. This is the only way I can eat cabbage and there really isn't that horridly icky smell you get w/cabbage when you boil it. ICCCCK & EWWW!!

I was told by a 'waterless cookware' salesman once that it was the chem reaction w/water that makes cabbage stink and to quit washing my cabbage right before cooking it. Wash it first, like early in the day, let it dry all day and then cook it. Dunno, but this way it doesn't stink like you remember when your Mom used to cook it and I wash the cabbage right before chopping it.

Anyway, cabbage and potatoes are inexpensive foodstuffs, so when there is leftover ham (not often), out comes this meal. You won't find this recipe in your Weight Watcher's program, okay? Okay. There are calories here people - this was common fare for hardworking farm people. So, if you are taking the weight challenge here seriously do not try this at home unless you are a fanatic saint who can tightly control your portions.

I'm going to dinner at moms! Tomorrow is ham and cheese potatoes!

[LuxLiving]

Lunch today was white beans w/ham chunks. ~YUM~ and warm for the innards! Pretty simple -- beans out of the cans, ham from the freezer, add some onion & garlic, salt & seasoning, a dash of white vinegar, and ~~ta-da~~ a fast & lazy lunch for the cook who is busy trying to stay warm! Lazy lazy cook did not even fix cornbread, just served w/crackers & bread and butter for those that wanted something else.

[genmed]

Leftovers. DH has been slow emptying out the fridge.. so a no cook day it is.

[ozzy gurl]

I'm just making a sandwich and finishing up some frozen curly fries. I went home this weekend, and mom stocked me up pretty well with chicken and leftovers from our weekend meals. I think I should be good for the week!

tortilla soup, chicken and potato salad

[LuxLiving]

Last night was spaghetti which was surprisingly extra good. Ya know - you make it the same way 100 times and on the 101st it is just lip-laripin' good and you know you didn't do anything different? That's how it was - there aren't any leftovers for today which is how I usually get my lunch.

For supper??? I don't know but tortilla soup does sound good...think I'll go rummage the pantry for the fixins! Thanks fairy74!

I just ate tortilla soup for the first time last week. How do you make it? It was good stuff. Does yours have chicken in it?
