Buried Ham Surprise - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: 2 hours ago

This is very similar to buried pork chops. However, it will have a more slippery feeling and might turn out a little soupier if there are too many eggs in the cornbread mixture. As with many dishes, there can be more than one way to make buried ham surprise. The primary difference would be the choice between using slices of bacon on the bottom of the pan or chips of bacon spread throughout the mixture. Whichever choice will delight the taste buds with a savory, chewy meal. Vegetables can be included in the pan for a one dish meal.
