Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Drop the green beans into the boiling water. Bring back to a full boil and cook, uncovered, until the beans are just tender, about 5 minutes. Once tender, drain and add to a 9×13 baking dish. Melt butter in a medium pan. Sauté onion over medium-high heat until translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add to casserole dish. Spread ham over the casserole dish. To work on the sauce, combine soup, water, sour cream, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large mixing bowl.

- [Bacon Jam](https://kentuckylegend.com/recipe/bacon-jam/): INGREDIENTS 1 lb. Kentucky Legend Bacon 2 large sweet onions, chopped 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup strong brewed coffee 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar DIRECTIONS Chop bacon slices down to 1/2-inch slices before cooking. Then fry in a large frying pan over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until bacon pieces are cooked but still chewy. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove bacon pieces from frying pan minus most of the bacon grease. Pour grease out of the pan, leaving about 1 tbsp. in the pan. Add onion to frying pan and cook for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the brown sugar and continue to cook on low for about 20 minutes, or until onions have caramelized. Add the coffee, 1/2 cup of water and the bacon pieces and increase the heat to medium, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick like jam, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Add salt to taste, if necessary. Bacon jam will last about one week in the fridge.

Place the asparagus in a large bowl or on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Count the spears and divide the total number by 8. Gather that number of spears (likely 2 to 4 spears, depending upon their thickness) and hold them together in a single bundle. Starting midway to the top, wrap the bundle with one piece of bacon (overlap the starting end of the bacon slightly to secure it) and place the bundle on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining spears. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender, about 22 to 28 minutes, depending upon the thickness of your bacon and desired crispiness. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- [Scalloped Potatoes and Ham](https://kentuckylegend.com/recipe/scalloped-potatoes-and-ham/): INGREDIENTS Kentucky Legend Quarter Sliced Ham, cubed Potatoes Butter Onion Flour Thyme Milk Chicken Broth or Stock Sharp Cheddar Cheese – you can substitute out for parmesan, mozzarella or a milder cheddar cheese if you prefer.

Add thyme and flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Step 3 – Make the Sauce: Turn heat to low and add milk a little bit at a time whisking between each addition. The mixture will thicken but as you continue adding and whisking, it will smooth out. Stir in chicken broth, salt and pepper to a boil and allow to boil for 1 minute. Step 4 – Layer the Casserole & Bake: Place ⅓ of the potatoes topped with ⅓ of the diced ham and ⅓ of the sauce. Repeat layers ending with sauce on top. Bake covered for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 25-35 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Add the cheese during the last 15 minutes. Step 5 – Allow to Cool: Cool and let set for 15 minutes before serving.
