Being from the poorer side of town, I grew up on economical dishes passed down from my Baba from Czechoslovakia. This is still a favorite of my German husband and Czech family.

How To Make czech Šunkafleky (ham & noodles)

Step 1

After baking a ham I grind the leftovers and freeze in 1 pound packs. Defrost 1 pound in microwave for this and keep warm. Do not heat in pot or it will dry out.

Step 2

Cook the noodles in a dutch oven per package directions for al dente and drain in colandar. Put noodles back in pot.
Step 3

Cut the butter up on top of the noodles and toss until melted and mixed well without breaking up the noodles.
Step 4

Add the heated ground ham to the noodles, sprinkling onion powder and ground black pepper to taste on top and toss.
Step 5

Serve in bowls..depending on the size of the bowl, you can feed a nice size family with this or have it for more than one meal.
