Introduction

Gotta love the crock pot! The ham adds a significant source of sodium - just be aware of it in your daily allowances.

Serving size is about 1.5 cups. Freezes well; just add a bit of hot water when you reheat it.

    Very Good
    It came out very well I put in lean ham since we rarely have a big ham. I prefer less fat. I used sweet potatoes,I liked it and I hope the numbers are correct. Pat in Maine - 3/14/18
