Easter ham meal without the hassle

Unless you're cooking for a crowd, baking up an Easter ham may not be worth the time, effort and expense.

If not, you'll do better to stick with ham steaks, a faster and more economical cut that can have the same flavor.

I started by sorting out the sides. I wanted potatoes in the mix, but I knew these would take the longest. A quick saute with some butter and thyme got a bag of new potatoes rolling.

For the ham steaks, it isn't so much cooking as reheating and flavoring. So I started with a saute of onion, then added the steaks and let them brown just a bit on both sides. For the glazing effect, toward the end of cooking I added a blend of maple syrup and hot sauce, then let it bubble and thicken.

And that's it. A complete ham dinner.
