Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Amish Ham and Sweet Onions

A simple and hearty Amish dish that combines savory ham with the natural sweetness of onions, using a slow cooker to meld and enhance the flavors.

Ingredients

Scale:

2 pounds of boneless ham, preferably smoked or honey-baked, well-trimmed of excess fat
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup of light brown sugar, packed

Slice the sweet onions thinly to ensure they cook evenly. Trim any excess fat from the ham.
In your slow cooker, start with a layer of sweet onions at the bottom.
Place the ham on top of the onions.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the ham and onions.
Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat. Allow the dish to cook for 4 to 6 hours.
Once cooked, carefully remove the ham and onions from the slow cooker. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle any remaining juices over the top.
