The Best Deviled Ham

This deviled ham dip is an elevated take on a classic ham salad recipe. It's made with the perfect combination of rich ham, creamy savory deviled eggs, and a little bit of spicy spiciness to make a dip like no other.

It's basically what would happen if ham salad and deviled eggs made a baby together. Honestly, it's the best of both worlds and after you've made this deviled ham recipe once, you'll never want to go back to eating deviled eggs or ham salad separately again!

What's even better though is how quick it is to make. Only two very simple steps are needed to make it, and then you'll have this deviled ham recipe ready to go in under 5 minutes!

By the way, if you're looking for something to pair with the deviled ham I have some ideas for you. A couple of my favorite things to eat with it are these air fryer tortilla chips and this Little Caesar's crazy bread.

Ingredients

As I mentioned above, you only need a few ingredients to make this deviled ham spread. And, honestly, they're all basically kitchen/pantry staples, so I'm willing to bet you already have most - if not all - of them at your house already.

Anyway, here's everything you'll need to make this deviled ham recipe:

• 1 cup ham
• 3 tbsp. mayo
• 2 tsp. mustard
• 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. paprika
• ¼ cup onion, diced
• ¼ cup celery, diced

Pretty simple stuff, right?

Ingredient Substitutions And Suggestions

Now, to make this recipe even more convenient, I recommend using leftover ham. But, if you don't have leftover ham, then you can use pre-sliced deli ham from the grocery store.

You can even make this delicious air fryer ham steak tonight, then use the leftovers to make this recipe tomorrow!

Also, when it comes to adding flavor, I think this deviled ham spread tastes perfect exactly as it is, but if you want to make it a little spicier, you can add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, or swap the mustard for dijon mustard.

If, on the other hand, you want your deviled ham spread to be a little sweeter, you can add 1 teaspoon of sweet pickle relish.

By the way, you can use almost all of these ingredients to make my classic ham salad, so you can check that out next! 

How To Make Deviled Ham

So, I know I've said this a million times before, but this deviled ham recipe is so, so easy to put together. You basically just combine all of the ingredients in your food processor, then serve it atop crackers or your favorite toasted bread.

Yup, it's that simple!

Anyway, let's stop wasting time and make deviled ham!

Step 1: Combine The Ingredients

First things first, you'll want to make sure you have your ham cooked and ready to go, along with your diced onion and celery.

Then, take out a food processor and add the ham, mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, diced onion, and celery to it.

Now, pulse the mixture until it is fully blended and combined. Oh, and don't let it blend until it's smooth. You want there to be some texture in the dish.

Step 2: Serve

Once you've pulsed to combine all of your ingredients, give it a taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary. After all, you're the chef, so make sure it tastes perfect for you.

Then, serve it along with fresh bread, crackers, or anything that you want! Oh, and you can also put it between two slices of bread to make a deviled ham sandwich.

By the way, if you think the dish needs a little pop of color, you can always add some diced green onion on top. Enjoy!

How To Store Deviled Ham

This recipe for deviled ham makes about 4 servings. And, as you can probably tell, it makes perfect leftovers.

Honestly, I recommend - if you have enough ham - that you make a double or triple batch of this recipe just for the leftovers! I just think the leftover deviled ham tastes even better the following day/s since the flavors have time to meld together.

Anyway, you can store the leftover ham in an airtight container in the fridge and it'll stay good for up to 5 days.

However, if you want to keep your leftovers for longer, you can easily freeze your deviled ham in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Then, when you're ready to enjoy it again, just let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
