1

Start with a bone-in spiral sliced ham for flavor.

2

Rub the ham down with mustard and brown sugar.

Place the ham in a bag and pour in Dr. Pepper, removing as much air as possible before sealing.

4

Prick a couple of holes in the bag to let steam escape.

5

Infuse flavors in the oven low and slow.

6

Cover baby gold potatoes with water, add salt, and bring to a boil.

7

Once potatoes are fork tender, cool them with cold water to stop cooking.

8

Half the potatoes and scoop out the center to make potato salad filling.

9

Mash the potato filling and mix in green onions, sweet relish, a tiny bit of mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.

10

Spoon the filling into a plastic bag for easy piping back into the potato halves.

11

Garnish with extra green onion or chives and sprinkle with paprika.

Prepare brownies by mixing a box of cake mix with 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of oil, plus a dash of vanilla.

13

Spread the thick batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F for 16 to 18 minutes.

14

Let brownies cool before pouring on a glaze made of powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice, plus a little salt.

15

Prepare a seven layer salad with chopped iceberg lettuce, red onion, frozen peas, and shredded cheddar cheese.

16

Make the dressing with mayonnaise, sugar, and black pepper, layering it on top of the salad with bacon as the final layer.

17

For a no-bake dirt cake, crush Oreos and mix with melted butter to form a crust in a casserole dish.

18

Whip together softened cream cheese and butter, then gradually add powdered sugar and whip in pudding mix with less milk than called for.
