What to do with all that leftover ham from the holidays? If you've never had a ham pot pie you're in for a treat! Just as delicious as a chicken pot pie with a flaky pie crust filled with a rich filling of tender potatoes, ham and cheese. Talk about the ultimate comfort food! Takes about 30 minutes to prepare to go in the oven or it freezes well too!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Uses leftover ham from Christmas or Easter dinner, leftover ham steak or ham cubes!
  • Easy to prepare and is a fantastic make-ahead recipe!
  • Ready to bake in 30 min!
  • This ham pot pie recipe freezes extremely well!

Ingredient Notes

  • Pie Crust - Either make a Homemade Pie Crust or a store bought one will work fine as well.
  • Ham - Any leftover ham will work for this recipe. If you're just in the mood for a ham pot pie but don't have leftover ham you can pick up a package of cubed ham pieces from the store to use instead.
  • Butter - Both salted butter and unsalted butter work just fine. Olive oil can be substituted for the butter.
  • Flour - All purpose flour, never self rising flour.
  • Chicken Broth - I always make my broth from a chicken base instead of the bouillon granules. The granules tend to be stale and have much less flavor. My favorite base is the Better than Bouillon brand! You can also use the cartons or cans of chicken broth or chicken stock.
  • Cheese - I use cheddar cheese or Colby jack cheese for this recipe.

    This turned out excellent. I was concerned that my honey baked ham would not work well, but I used a sharp cheddar and it balanced out perfectly. Thank you!
