Instant Pot Ham and Cabbage Dinner
Growing up in my parent’s house anytime we had a ham dinner. boiled dinner as it was called would follow.I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, no one could make food stretch the way my mother could. My parents had 7 kids and my father made very little money for a family that size. However, we never went hungry.
Both of my parents were excellent cooks and great at making big pots of things that went a long way. I have shared a few –Easy Shepherds Pie, although she didn’t make it in an instant pot, INSTANT POT CHILI is basically her recipe. Of course, I bragged on her Moms Classic Macaroni Salad With Egg. Ham and cabbage usually came after having ham on Christmas or Easter.
Making Ham and Cabbage Dinner is pretty easy whether you put it in an instant pot pressure cooker as I did, or throw it all in a stockpot on the stove. As easy as it is to make and as much as I love it, I haven’t served it much to my husband and kids. Seems none of them are fans of cooked cabbage. Yum, I love it with extra butter on the potatoes and some apple cider vinegar for a little bite .- Delicious in my opinion.
Does it Matter What Kind Of Ham I Use? – Absolutely not, I’m sure it would be great with any that you choose. However, personally, I think the more fat the better.
Could I use different meat?– Sure it is also great with pork chops or if you are like my daughter, and don’t eat pork, a turkey breast would be great.

What should I serve with the Dinner?-This time I served Pillsbury Refrigerator Biscuits https://www.pillsbury.com/. My mother just always served bread and butter with every meal.
