This is a great recipe to use up that Thanksgiving ham or use ground turkey or ground beef... cooked or uncooked all work. Just use your grinder or blender to grind up the cooked meat you want to use or the raw- both will work for this recipe- I have even used Jimmy Dean or other sausage in the mixture- this was dinner on Sunday. Hope you and your family enjoy this recipe.
