Used to eat canned ham when I was a kid. Only difference is we opened the can with a key.

[@laurielyon1892]

I made a soup with that one. I had a can of northern beans that didn’t seal so I made ham and bean soup. I diced up the ham and browned it in the pot with some onion. Added carrots, celery, chicken broth along with the “ham” and beans and my son thought it was one of the better soups I’ve made. I will definitely make it again.

[@karenoherron8863]

I am definitely going to get some of the canned ham from Aldi. My husband said to tell you that spam stands for Squirrel, Possum and More. He is so funny

[@jenniebaird2994]

Since I discovered Aldi several years ago, I buy my groceries no where else. The food is excellent and I have saved so much money. The ham is one item I haven't tried but I will now - thanks!

[@LindaCBMediaGroup]

Loved seeing all your babies in the barn! I buy the little Dak hams when I can find them in Walmart, and Dollar General. I remember my mom cooking those in the oven, and putting a brown sugar and pineapple glaze on them. That was back in the 70's when inflation was ridiculous, and the price of food was even worse!

[@zzzzipy12]

We need an Aldo’s!!!! The canned ham would be great fried with some taters & eggs!!!

[@kentuckygirl8282]

I'm late watching this, but just wanted to say this: I'm pretty sure that being a homesteading, farm wife and still manage to have cute nails is a superwoman trait lol! Love you Patara! God bless!

[@brendacollins9272]

I like to grind it up and add pineapple juice in it. I make a loaf out of it. Put some pineapples on top. Mix pineapple pineapple juice, brown sugar and mustard and glaze it. It’ll make your tongue slap your brains out!!!!

[@annewinchester6945]

Canned ham is good. I haven't had one in forever.

[@valeriegerard5392]

My Mom used to make canned ham for us occasionally. She would bake it with pineapple rings and maraschino cherries in the middle of the rings like a pineapple upside down cake.

[@susanlester1]

The ham experiment was interesting! Also, you are so good to all your critters😊 I love that!

[@kelleyjerred8032]

I do survival sunday with my grandkids. Trying different kinds of foods that they aren't used too. Mind you thier 3 and 6 but its pretty fun.

[@starrperry6395]

James is a hoot 😂 Definitely going to Aldi to add to our pantry. My husband and I were saying eww, that little oks like spam 🤢 too. But I’ll trust your taste buds and James didn’t gag. Love the polished nails.

[@buckeyejen1076]

"I would believe you." LOL James, you're a hoot.

[@lindadelzer423]

"Mama's going for it." James, you chicken☺

[@kathygarber9407]

I used to buy them all the time when my first three children were babies and hubs was stationed at Ft. Knox . A Spec. 4 with 4 defendants didn’t have a penny left come the 1st of the month ! One can made two meals 1/2 for a pot of Pintos , the other half in with green beans and potatoes ! Great buy and don’t taste bad ! Blessings to you and yours 🙏🏽❤️

[@bettymobley763]

You will Eat most anything if you get REALLY HUNGRY!!

[@janh519]

When it gets daylight, I’m heading to Aldi to get a few cans of that ham! My daddy would always say of canned food, “That’ll taste better than a snowball this winter”! My kids were never picky...hubby, either. With canned ham, I’d add pineapple and a little brown sugar, put it in a baking dish or the crockpot, open a jar of green beans and fix some mashed potatoes and cornbread. Yummy! Also, I’ll bet this ham would be good fried for breakfast. It would taste good with scrambled eggs and toast. Thanks for the ideas!

[@crystalwright1504]

I love those. We just put it on a plate, slice and make sandwiches, straight out of the can. Ooooh, oooh, yum!!

[@birdali2]

Canned ham is delicious with Coca-Cola glaze.

[@patriotguardharleyriders9767]

This was Great! Lol! We bought a few of these bad boys too 😀 I was thinking of adding to rice & veggies or Ramen. Thanks for fthis!👍

[@janpenland3686]

Thanks Patara. I loved James's reaction! I make it sometimes with home canned peaches or apples and a little brown sugar. It also makes a great pasta casserole with a can of english peas, some "cream of" soup and whatever seasonings you like. Much Love

[@6996katmom]

That looks like the old Hormel ham in a can when I was a kid. That was the only ham we ever got to eat and they were great.

[@patsyrhodes6342]

My Mother use to bake these years ago, they were delicious

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Going to get a few of those hams from Aldi next time I go. Thanks for the taste test and recommendation. I'm putting things back for a rainy day. Im afraid we're going to have a long rainy season!! Thanks for your videos, Patera. Your James is so cute. Love you guys!!

[@lisagill9971]

I love the way you interact with your babies. ❤️🙏🌸

[@gailwatkins8843]

I grind it up in the meat grinder (the one that screws to the counter) add dill pickle relish and mayo for a sandwich that is yummy!!

[@debracarnley788]

That brings back memories of my momma cooking those! I hadn't even thought about getting any, but they would be good in beans!

[@4themotherload]

Love what you did with the canned ham, I though while you were eating - a great mustard and a fresh biscuit. I am hungry👩‍🍳 Hope your holidays have been wonderful and thank you for sharing❤️

[@lindasmith6654]

You go for it...James you are a hoot.....I think he would try anything you cooked...and tried first.

[@heleneblack2115]

This was fun! Glad you try these items for your subscribers 😉 thanks for sharing!

[@luvchild]

Wrap in aluminum foil put in oven about 2hrs,serve it up with watever you like!!! Enjoy😋my family ate it alot growing up here in NORTH CAROLINA!!!

[@susanriley-braun5875]

I absolutely love your laugh, makes me happy!

[@Sarai_Anna_bornagain]

Stocked this! Thank you for the suggestion. Your videos have really helped us become more prepared 🙏

[@cheerio3847]

Growing up my mom would put pineapple chunks on a canned ham and bake it. We kids preferred dads method - chopped up and fried with onions, mushrooms then mixed into scrambled eggs! Breakfast for dinner always!! I saw that come out of the can and thought 'hmmm, sliced then fried alongside over easy eggs'. Too bad I don't have ALDI here, I'd definately buy and store that and likely use a can once a month or so.

[@Charlotte-Willow]

Thank you. I have one in my cabinet I’ve been curious about. Looks like it would be good in a hash or scramble too.

[@robertahall4553]

Oh, thank you i thought only me and my family keeps can ham hand just in case. Thanks for sharing!

[@barbb3378]

Your videos always make me smile. 😁 thankyou! Cute furbabys too! 💕

[@deirdredelaughder1060]

Great review!! I just love your facial expressions 😂🤣😂 James at the end was hilarious 😆🤣😆

[@72blueflash]

Patera, my wife and I really like them for quick meals. Heat up in a pan and put on a biscuit for breakfast. And like you told your viewers a really long shelf life. One other thing I would add, we think the ham make quick and tasty ham salad for sandwiches.

[@servicedoglydia503]

I may have to pick up a few of these as well. Can't hurt :) Thanks for sharing.

[@bobwilliam6183]

Woman you crack me up 🤣😂have a blessed day!!

[@candiceroberson5987]

Thanks for sharing. I have alot of this ham in the pantry.

[@jackiegabriel6452]

OMg! I'm gonna buy it for my stash of shelf life products! Thanks for making me chuckle once again, Patara. Have a blessed day.

[@cindyebner5556]

Thank you and God bless you for ALL that you do, wish I had found your channel years ago.

[@audreynanapreps2543]

I dont cook it's already cooked! I use for breakfast, ham salad, sandwiches. Love it

[@elizabethharper9208]

I have some in my pantry. James' reaction...priceless.

[@bridgescwr6136]

Happy Holiday Everyone! Hugs to Cochise! Maybe a little ground clover if you have it around!

[@margaretbedwell58]

I guess that was "I might take a bite but I'm not going to like it." James you are the best sport. We used to get canned ham back in the 70's that was more solid looking than that one. We would take a church key bottle opener and poke holes all the way around the can. Put it on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven at 350 for about 20 to 25 min. Take it out and drain off the liquid. Then pour bar b q sauce down through the holes, return to oven a bake for an hour or so. Take it out of oven, carefully remove the can lid with a manual can opener and have a tasty bar b q ham, great on its own, wonderful as a sandwich on a great roll. Thanks for sharing this with us, I have been wondering about that product. Have a Blessed day.

[@SeeLionsInTX]

Your RED CHRISTMAS NAILS look so pretty, Patara! ❤️🎄❤️

[@JayP-kd5rc]

Those canned hams are good baked for an hour or so with a glaze on them, or fried, or chopped up to make a ham salad for english muffin cheese melts. You can do so much with them, and the shelf life is great. Wonderful to have on the shelf. Thanks for the fun video.

[@joysikes4352]

LOL I LOVED the answer James gave you !!! Too funny !

[@paperback-writer]

Patara, you absolutely just make me laugh! I love your videos 😂❤️ I hope you and James are well.

[@annevans8953]

I love your red nails and your pearl earrings too. Very classic. Thank your for this great recipe and all the good tips!

[@jodyflores601]

Thank you Patara, I literally have items in my Aldi's instacart right now, I will add this to the pantry for emergencies. Blessings dear!

[@furryfriends1639]

You two are a hoot. Merry Christmas.

[@kimjesch7019]

I'm sure it would do in a pinch, and keep you going, thanks for the tip. I guess it's the shelf life that is concerning, but Twinkies have a twenty year shelf life

[@buckeyedav1]

Glad you tried it I actually have a can of this in my emergency preps but haven't tried it yet.. good ideas for cooking it. I was thinking frying it. And yes it is good to have a variety. I of course do Canning but for that price not bad. Anna In Ohio.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

I like those too - great for quick meals for my family

[@charlenecole1840]

You make me laugh!!! Couldn’t be a better video!! Thank you❤️

[@richardmerriam7044]

My late father made Easter Ham (the real ones, bone in), with diamond slicing, cloves and a packet glaze that came with the ham. It was always perfect. I'm a prepper with three one pound canned hams. Haven't tried one yet. Great video!

[@marthav2772]

Oh my gosh! I was thinking about this video the other day and since I have a few of those Aldi hams I wanted to try your version but couldn't find it...and here it is!😃 Hooray!!!👍

[@SueLD]

Thanks for letting us know this is worth having in the pantry.

[@joangillen1260]

You and James are awesome!!!!!🤗

[@rootsrocksfeathers1975]

How appropriate right about now -my husband picked up several of these at Walmart last time he went. I never thought about cooking an already cooked ham out of a can, good suggestion. Now, my husband grew up eating potted meats, but I've never even tried Spam, so he may like it better than me, LOL! Thanks, P! Wishing your family a wonderful 2021 (if it ain't better than 2020, we'll just all hang it right up, honey) ~Cynthia, N. GA mountains, just look directly south of you and wave!

[@lorrainedeininger8503]

You had me laughing so much. Funny. And I subscribed.

[@susanbelida6981]

Looked good Patera. Glad James liked it. His expressions were priceless!! Years ago canned ham was solid ham. Now it's just mushy and tastes odd. My dad always had 2 cans in the house for a meal sandwiches and his wonderful western omelets on Friday nights. Good memories!!!

[@3doggymom]

I love those hams!! I make ham salad in the food processor with them.

[@sandyclaus2729]

I just adore you. Lol, you crack me up. I feel like I'm in your kitchen with you. I've never tried canned ham, but was wondering if was like spam. I do love that spreadable ham in a can though. Guess I gotta get ne some canned ham. Lol. Thanks for sharing this. Love all of your fur babies, soooo sweet! ♡♡♡

[@jacquelineraines2074]

Glad I caught this retro video on the canned ham. When I was first married and very poor, my husband and I ate them but don' remember the brand. I think I have this brand in my hurricane supply box so good to know it's pretty good. Yes, I like pineapple, brown sugar, honey sauce in my hams,

[@patriciasmith5336]

simmer it in a deep pot with pineapple and carrots and onions. Once heated through thicken the liquid with cornstarch, some pepper and some butter. Serve with the carrots, onions and mashed potatoes. The gravy is fantasic and we lived for Easter when my mom would make this.

[@judycarter8199]

James is a trooper! I recognize James’ reaction-because of his 10th grade biology class discussion of trichinella (more than 50 years ago), my hubby doesn’t care for any pork products except extra crisp bacon so he wouldn’t have sampled the ham. 😆

[@normamccomas9272]

Also you could use it in a casserole with eggs, even in a tortilla, anyway if you needed a meal! ❤xxoo Love the wooden pig!!😍

[@leeannmusslin5580]

So glad I saw this video because I have been hesitant on picking these up. I am sure my husband won’t eat it until he has too. Thanks for being the guinea pig for us lol 😂!

[@lisadye5848]

Y'all are cracking me up with that canned ham. I laughed with tears in my eyes!

[@janiedee6466]

Love those hams!! Several in my prepper pantry

[@viviansmith8207]

I have 7 thanks for this video wondered how taste and texture would be glad you approve.

[@sassytbc7923]

Hi Patara! Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

[@bonniefuller858]

Cute video...love James’s expression 🤣🤣🤣

[@mywoolmitten]

I don't know about the spam ham lol, but I have one of those little crock pots and use it all the time! Thank you for testing it out ;)

[@zeldakoons3686]

Checked up and cooked in scalloped potatoes. Bean soup, ham salad,

[@zeldakoons3686]

Pea soup, ham and eggs, ham and cheese sandwiches, etc

[@gelwood99]

Momma used to get canned hams from the grocery store, they were Black Lable and it wasn't chopped and reformed, it was real ham cut in the shape of the oval can. It was very good and not like spam at all. I want to say there were 3 lb and 5 lb sizes. And yes, they used a key to open it. I remember it tasting like sliced ham.

[@HJ-le7ce]

Never thought to stick a tiny ham in my tiny crock pot. Thanks for the idea!

[@flutey28]

I love your videos. I love canned ham with mac n cheese. I also have some casserole dishes it works well in

[@klcpca]

I think it would be great broken up into ham & bean soup, maybe make ham salad, etc. I'd probably make it with pineapple or orange juice & brown sugar etc. James is soooo cute--- you two are yin & yang... James is quiet and reserved, you are outgoing & friendly.... a perfect pair!

[@ashlipope5079]

I’m excited you made one. I’ve gotten several and have wondered about it. Your husbands adorable lol!

[@ncmike225]

Delightful video ! You ARE hilarious.... and quite informative too. I think I'm gonna try frying my 1-pound canned ham... it's the first for me.

[@joycepartin8796]

I buy the canned hams often. Use them in my beans and also make a breakfast scranble with eggs, onions and cheese. Yum!

[@MrCorvettegirl2]

Hi Patara I’ve had canned ham before Not bad , I liked it Has been years since I’ve had one My pick up a few just to store in my pantry 👍 Thanks Brenda

[@jawjagrrl]

I saw these at the drugstore and almost grabbed one. Def a prep item that could be added to lots of things - soups, beans, eggs, etc. It's already cooked so handy if you're dealing with an extended power outage like we were when Zeta came thru this fall.

[@rosalielindley3583]

Those are so good!

[@1423colin]

Happy holidays.

[@billyingram3492]

Made many meals with canned ham. Everything from fried ham n cheese sandwiches to a simple soup my mother made on the stove adding potatoes, green beans, baby carrots and diced up canned ham.

[@jennyrogers2070]

Loved your video and tried it and had to go back and by more Loved it

[@Jomama02]

I love using this canned ham for quick green beans, potatoes and onions. Also like it in some soup beans. Maybe not for a ham dinner but putting it in things to flavor them for quick meals is great. I always have at least 3 in the cupboard for just this reason! I think this canned ham would have been a better choice than the ham I got at Save a lot this year for Christmas dinner!

[@junnielaine4208]

Glad to hear this as I have one in my pantry , lol!

[@lindafrazier8799]

Looks good!

[@pjbenne1]

You go girl. TRUE GRIT Blessed Be

[@trulyevil211]

Have you tried Aldi‘s brand of spam? $1.79 almost better then spam.

[@booklover620]

I make up dinner bags for our church's food pantry...I'm going to Slone name with canned pineapple, rice and a banana bread! Thanks for the idea. God bless.
