This spoon bread is a true Kentucky original and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Berea, don’t miss a chance to experience the Boone Tavern Hotel and Restaurant!

This is a great recipe to make when you have leftover ham. It can be made from scraps or a chunk of ham. This recipe uses fully cooked deli ham, but you can use ham that has been baked for a family dinner or any type of left-over cooked ham that needs to be used. Freezing leftover ham is always an option, but this recipe will give your ham an extended life for lunches and snacks.

I’ve made this slaw for many occasions, and it always gets rave reviews. It’s easy to make, but requires some chopping of the ingredients. As my granddaughter declared, it’s the best slaw she ever tasted!
