One of my favorite childhood dinners were sweet ham steaks over creamy mashed potatoes. The sweet brown sugar glaze was gravy over entire meal and the ham steaks were a luxury. No one would guess it was an easy 20 minute one pan recipe!
Heat 1 tbs butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2 tbs butter divided
Add the ham steaks and brown on both sides, 5 - 7 minutes.
2 ham steaks

Notes
Pair this recipe with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans or broccoli. It also works great with cayenne roasted Brussels sprouts & squash. This dinner goes quick and rarely has leftovers, but if you have leftover ham steak, store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat as needed or dice and toss into scrambled eggs or fried rice for another quick meal. Dr. Pepper works just as well as regular cola for this recipe. We do not recommend diet sodas for this recipe. Want things a little more sweet? Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the sauce.
