Ham and Pineapple with Rice

This is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for those who love sweet and savory flavors.

It’s a balanced meal

One of the primary reasons why you should consider eating ham and pineapple with rice is that it’s a balanced meal that contains all the essential nutrients your body needs. The ham provides a good source of protein, while the pineapple adds natural sweetness and is rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Rice is a great source of carbohydrates, which your body needs for energy.

It’s easy to prepare

Another reason why you should try this dish is that it’s easy to prepare. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop while the ham and pineapple warm in the slow cooker. Once everything is cooked, you can mix it all together in a bowl or on a plate, and your meal is ready. It’s a quick and easy meal that you can prepare in under 30 minutes.

It’s versatile

This is also a versatile dish that you can customize to your liking. For example, you can use different types of ham, such as smoked or honey glazed, depending on your taste preferences. You can also add other ingredients, such as vegetables, nuts, or spices, to give the dish more flavor and texture.

It’s a crowd-pleaser

If you’re looking for a dish that will please everyone, ham and pineapple with rice is a great option. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs well with the saltiness of the ham, and the rice provides a neutral base for the flavors to blend together. It’s a dish that both kids and adults will enjoy.

It’s affordable

This is an affordable meal that won’t break the bank. Ham and pineapple are readily available at most grocery stores, and rice is a staple ingredient that’s affordable and easy to find. You can make this dish for a fraction of the cost of eating out or ordering takeout, making it a budget-friendly option for busy weeknights.

In conclusion, ham and pineapple with rice is a delicious and nutritious meal that’s easy to prepare, versatile, and affordable.

    I am curious how many people each bag will feed.

    This sounds wonderful. I have been looking for crock pot meals to try, though it’s been years since I’ve cooked one. As a working mom I just have to come up with something simpler for our nighttime meal than cooking 40 minutes every night after work and picking up our girls at aftercare! I’ll give this a try, and because I have to have something green every night on the table, I’ll also add broccoli spears to the bag. Not sure how they’ll cook up, but worth the try!
    Thanks so much for the recipes, Jessica. Makes life so much easier when dinner is preplanned!

    You’re right. I assumes she split her ingredients into two bags. But after studying the bags they look like 1 ham 2 cans each. I’m making this tonight and now I’m wondering!!!

      Yeah Melissa, I split the 2.5 lbs of ham into two, and dumped one can of pineapple chunks into each. Hope that was right. Let me know how it turns out, this is one that I am especially excited about!

    I see two bags in the photo. Does each bag contain one can of pineapple chunks (with about one lb of ham slices) or two cans as called for in the recipe (with all 2.5 lbs of ham) ?

    I too am wondering if this is cooked/uncooked ham and what size cans pineapple chunks? There are 2 different sizes I’ve seen.

      Ham is already precooked during the smoking process so you don’t need to cook it further at home. Heating it is for taste.

    I love all of your ideas for stocking the freezer with crockpot meals! It would be so great if you could post some pics of the finished dishes. Can’t wait to try this one. Is this a cooked ham or an uncooked one before frozen?
