Slow Cooker Boiled Dinner with Leftover Ham Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 leftover 1/2 ham with bone
  • 1 medium head of cabbage (core removed and quartered)
  • 1 medium rutabaga (cut into chunks)
  • 5 small to medium potatoes (whole or quartered)
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 4 cups of water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Place the ham in the slow cooker and surround it with the carrots, potatoes and rutabaga pieces. Pour in the water, add the 2 bay leaves, and sprinkle the pepper over the top.
  2. Top with the quartered cabbage pieces, cover, and cook on low for 7 – 8 hours or until vegetables are tender. (You can decrease the time by setting the slow cooker to high.
  3. I cooked mine on low for 4 hours and then increased the temperature to finish it off. Total cooking time was 6 hours.)
