Smoked, sliced, or coated in sugar and slow-roasted, ham has legions of devotees around the globe. As of 2026, the worldwide ham and smoked bacon market is worth close to $18 billion, according to estimates from Research and Markets. That number is expected to grow annually by 5.6% between 2026 and 2030.

That's not just because of rising grocery inflation rates, which are expected to increase by 2.5% in 2026. Ham is a highly versatile protein, just as good on cold-cut sandwiches as it is warmed up in a slow cooker. And that's to say nothing of the many different global cuisines that prominently feature ham, from Italy's prosciutto to China's Jinhua ham and much more. 

Of course, ham is also a quintessential part of many American holiday dinners, including Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. However, this flavorful cut of meat makes for excellent eats all year round. In fact, there are literally dozens of other ways to prepare and incorporate this protein beyond that succulent, spiral-cut ham many have come to love.

In celebration of this sometimes overlooked meat, Stacker has highlighted some of these alternative methods, compiling a list of 50 ham recipes from Allrecipes. Read on to see if one of them inspires your next meal.
