Introduction

If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious dish that requires minimal effort,
Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Cola Ham is the perfect recipe. With only three ingredients
and a slow cooker, you can create a tender, juicy ham coated in a sweet and flavorful glaze.
The cola helps caramelize the ham while keeping it moist, and the brown sugar adds a rich
sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savory meat. This recipe is ideal for holidays,
family dinners, or any time you want a comforting meal without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 fully cooked ham (about 2–3 kg / 4–6 lbs)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 can (12 oz / 355 ml) cola

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ham: Place the fully cooked ham into the slow cooker.
   If the ham is large, trim it slightly so it fits comfortably.
2. Add the Brown Sugar: Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the ham
   to help create a sweet glaze.
3. Pour the Cola: Slowly pour the cola over and around the ham to
   keep it moist and flavorful.
4. Cook the Ham: Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours
   or high for 2–3 hours, until the ham is heated through and tender.
5. Baste and Serve: Occasionally spoon the cooking liquid over the ham
   while it cooks. Slice the ham and drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.
