A savory Southern classic reimagined. We’ve paired the bold flavor of our premium country ham with garden vegetables in a rich, velvety cream sauce, all tucked under a golden, flaky crust. It’s a hearty, soul-warming meal that offers a perfect balance of salt and spice with the ease of a simple weeknight dinner. Pure comfort in every slice.
Ingredients
-
1 Frozen Deep-Dish Pie Shell (ready-to-go in the tin)
-
1 Refrigerated Pie Crust (the roll-out kind)
-
¾ to 1 cup of chopped Suncrest Country Ham Center Slices, (or more, depending on salt & flavor preference) cut into small pieces
-
1 bag (12 oz) Frozen Mixed Vegetables
-
1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of Potato Soup
-
½ cup Milk
-
1 tbsp Butter or Oil
-
½ tsp Black Pepper
-
1 Egg, beaten (for the egg wash)
How To Make
Step 1. The 2-Minute Sear
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
*Note: If you want less salt, give the country ham a quick 5-minute soak in lukewarm water and pat it dry before searing. This removes the surface salt while keeping the deep flavor inside.
Add the ham and sear for 2-3 minutes, until just browned. Remove the ham from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Step 2. Sauté the Veggies
Add the frozen vegetables directly into the same hot skillet (the ham drippings will season them). Sauté for 3–4 minutes until they are bright and no longer icy.
Step 3. Build the Sauce
Turn the heat to low. Add the can of soup, milk, and black pepper to the vegetables. Stir until smooth and hot. Fold the seared ham back into the mixture and remove the pan from the heat.
Step 4. Top and Seal
Pour the filling into the frozen pie shell. Unroll the refrigerated crust over the top. Use a fork to crimp the edges together to seal. Press fork into crust 3 times around the center (to allow steam to escape) and brush the top with the beaten egg.
Step 5. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow to set before serving.
