Nana’s Pimento Cheese and Ham Biscuits
The ham we had for Thanksgiving was so tasty there wasn’t much left – just enough for 1 night of leftovers and then just a tad. I almost threw it out but I decided to throw it in the food processor and mince it up for 2 different recipes. I was inspired to make this…

This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving appetizers and you know you will need those with hungry people in the house!
