Whether it's baked with a sweet glaze or prepared in a slow cooker, ham is unquestionably the centerpiece of an Easter dinner. Glazed ham is often paired with pineapple, but try it with oranges for a main that stands out.
Side: Casseroles

It's not a holiday dinner without something warm and cheesy. Dishes like green bean casserole, mac and cheese, broccoli casserole, and corn pudding will complement your ham and satisfy everyone's casserole craving.
Side: Potatoes

With their velvety soft texture and undeniable comfort factor, creamy scalloped potatoes and cheesy potatoes au gratin are classic Easter sides that work perfectly with ham. However, if you're not up for cream or cheese with your potatoes, a simple roasted potato dish makes a simple and delicious, companion to ham.
Side: Spring Vegetables
