WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THAT LEFTOVER HAM YOU ASK????...You Make PJ's JUNK MEAL!


It's quite simple! You make P.J.'s JUNK MEAL! This is true comfort and not really healthy but what comfort food is? It all started some 28ish years ago when we were newleweds. P.J. got home from work first so he decided to make dinner. He fried up some onions, potatoes, and ham and then threw in whatever else was a leftover from the fridge. It became an instant hit! We've learned through the years what MUST go into it (corn) and what shouldn't (olives).
PJ called me up from work today to ask if we could have this for dinner tonight. How can I refuse!
This recipe doesn't have amounts. You throw in as much or as little of things that work well with you. We always make a big pot of it because leftovers of this is great in scrambled eggs or omelets!
PJ'S JUNK MEAL
potatoes - cut into approx 1/2 " squares
onions - rough chopped
ham - rough chop
whatever else you wanttonight I also added some PENZEY'S Shallot salt (http://www.penzeys.com/)*************************************************************************
So, in a big pan, heat up a few dashes of vegetable oil. When it's hot, add your onions, potatoes and ham. After you've fried/sauteed that, just dump everything else in the pan. Cook it until potatoes are cooked. We like when the bottom gets browned and we scrape the brown pieces up and mix into mixture. YUM!
