Three words: Beans and Rice.
1 ham bone (crack the bone: place bone in a heavy paper bag, give it a whack with the hammer. Remove bone, pick away any shards.
1 pound small dried red beans, soaked overnight and drained
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced (another 5 or 6 cloves won't hurt...this is a tame version)
salt and pepper, to taste
6 cups hot cooked rice
1 cup chopped green onions
Place beans with ham bone, onion, garlic, and 1 1/2 quarts water in a crockpot. Cover and cook on high 2 hours. Turn heat to low and cook, covered, 10 to 12 hours. Remove ham bone and mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the remaining liquid. Take the bone out, cut off any meat, add to pot. To serve, place one scoop rice on every plate, serve beans over rice with chopped green or regular onions on the side. Good? Very! Throw in some sausages of any kind and you have poetry.

oh thank you for posting this question! i worked on Easter, so we didn't make a dinner; but my neighbor gave me her ginormous ham bone knowing i'd find something to do with it. i'm really not in a split pea soup mood either.

I realize this may not be for everyone, but I use ham bones for jook (rice porridge). Also a ham bone is a good base for many different soups, not just pea soup.

A better question might be what CAN'T you make with a ham bone? Try some of these combos: Navy Beans, Great Northerns, Pole Beans, Jambalaya, Red Beans 'n' Rice, Pinto Beans. I'm sure there's other recipes, too.
