Leftover Ham and Gnocchi Skillet

This Ham and Gnocchi skillet is a leftover loving dream. Something that’s not just cheese and pasta, not just more ham between two slabs of wonder bread. So Good, you’ll smoke a ham just to have this later in the week.

Leftovers is a word that can make even the most peppy people roll their eyes. After a big family feast, you really only want so many days with turkey sandwiches before you need a little variety.

Being creatively inspired for 20 or so pounds of leftover anything can drain on an individual as the days go by. But, it has to be done, so get all Bubba Gump on your leftovers and start thinking of ways to eat.
