How to Make Ham Stew in a Slow Cooker
Cris here.
I just love this stew. It is a great dish for a weeknight meal or holiday. I made it for Christmas this year and a couple times since then with leftover ham. Everyone loves it so much, this has become my go-to leftover ham recipe. The idea for this dish came about when we made our Crock Pot Cabbage, Green Beans and Tomatoes the other day and we KNEW we were going to try that combination to create some other dishes. This recipe definitely did NOT disappoint!
Crock Pot Ham Stew Notes
- You can use as much or as little ham as desired. We like to use at least 3 cups to make this a one pot meal.
- If you are eating low carb, make sure to check your ham carb counts. Some varieties have added sugar, while you can find others that do not contain the extra carbs.
- One of the major flavor contributors to this dish is the diced tomatoes flavored with oregano, basil and garlic. Several brands offer this option, but if you cannot find it, you can always add those spices to the dish yourself. Just add 1/2 tsp of each and it should do the trick.
- We used a small head of cabbage (4 to 5 cups of chopped cabbage). You can use more if you want, just make sure to stir as the cabbage cooks down so that it will cook evenly.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.

This tasted great, much better than similar recipes that I have tried. I think the diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic makes the difference. I added some leftover cooked rice which worked out very well. Easy, convenient and tasty way of using up leftovers – ham, cabbage and/or rice!
