Monday, August 18, 2008 - What's for Dinner tonight....
Tonight we have Upward Cheerleading and Flag Football practice at 6pm... so, I thought I would put some ham from the freezer in the slowcooker and make little sandwiches with it on yeast rolls and maybe some oven fries and corn... Something easy but would be better than eating out...
Here's the recipe I am trying tonight.. I am substituting the cola with the Coke Zero (because it's all I have in the pantry)...and I am using a much smaller ham and just adjusting the recipe to fit it...
Cook Time: 8 hours
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1/4 cup cola (Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, etc.)
3 to 4 pound pre-cooked ham
Preparation:
Combine brown sugar and mustard. Moisten with just enough cola to make a smooth paste. Reserve remaining cola. Score the ham with shallow slashes in a diamond pattern. Rub ham with paste mixture. Place ham in slow cooker/Crock Pot and add remaining cola. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then turn to low and cook for 6 to 7 hours.
I will let you know how it tastes... hopefully YUMMY!!
