Put diced cooked ham in the slow cooker with 3 other secret ingredients to get a meal so fantastic your potluck buddies will be begging for more.

This 4-ingredient slow cooker potluck ham is my go-to when I’ve promised to bring a main dish but know I’ll be racing in from work with about five minutes to spare. It starts with a big pile of diced cooked ham in the bottom of the slow cooker and gets transformed with just three other “secret” pantry ingredients into something sweet, savory, and totally addictive. Think of it as a cross between glazed ham and a hearty ham main dish—perfect for potlucks, game days, or those nights when you just want the slow cooker to do the work while you handle everything else on your to-do list.

Serve this slow cooker potluck ham straight from the crock on warm with a big spoon for self-serve ease. It’s fantastic over fluffy white or brown rice, buttered egg noodles, or mashed potatoes to soak up the sweet-savory glaze. For a potluck, I like to set it out with soft dinner rolls or slider buns so people can make little ham sandwiches.

Round out the meal with simple sides like a green salad, coleslaw, roasted veggies, or a veggie tray. Leftovers are great stirred into scrambled eggs, omelets, or mac and cheese for an easy next-day meal.
