How To Make Sheet Pan Holiday Ham Dinner Recipe

  1. Prep the oven: Arrange 2 oven racks in the middle part of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  2. Start the green beans: On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the trimmed green beans with the olive oil, grated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Spread them out evenly. Bake on the upper rack until they just start to get tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the stuffed mushrooms: While the beans cook, pop the stems out of the mushrooms. Use a measuring spoon to gently scoop out any remaining stem bits to create a cavity. Reserve the stems for another use (like stock). In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, room temperature cream cheese, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Divide this filling evenly among the mushroom caps.
  4. Make the ham glaze: Line a second sheet pan with foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the orange marmalade until melted, about 45 seconds. Whisk in the fresh orange juice, cornstarch, rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
  5. Prep the ham: Arrange the ham steaks on the prepared foil-lined sheet pan. Brush the orange glaze generously on both sides of each ham steak.
  6. Combine the veggies: After the green beans have cooked for 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Push the beans over to the right side of the sheet pan to make room. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the left side of the pan and drizzle the filling evenly with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  7. Roast: Place the sheet pan with the ham on the upper rack and the sheet pan with the green beans and mushrooms on the lower rack. Bake for about 25 minutes. Frequently brush the ham with the glaze in the pan until the glaze starts to thicken up and become glossy.
  8. Add the rolls: Remove the veggie pan from the oven. Push the green beans to the middle of the sheet pan and arrange the frozen dinner rolls on the right side. Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter.
  9. Final bake: Return the veggie/roll pan to the oven. Bake until the dinner rolls are softened and warm, the ham glaze is thickened and glossy, the green beans are tender, and the mushroom filling is golden brown, about another 10 minutes. Serve everything warm.

Recipe Tips

  • Timing is Everything: This recipe relies on a staged cooking process. Don’t rush it! Letting the beans start first ensures they are perfectly tender by the time the mushrooms and rolls are done.
  • The Cornstarch Trick: Adding cornstarch to the marmalade glaze is crucial. It helps the sauce thicken up in the oven, creating a sticky, lacquer-like finish on the ham rather than a runny sauce.
  • Mushroom Prep: When cleaning mushrooms, wipe them with a damp cloth rather than soaking them in water. Mushrooms are like sponges; if they absorb too much water, they will get soggy when baked.
  • Ham Steaks: Ham steaks are already fully cooked, so you are essentially just heating them through and glazing them. If they start to brown too much before the glaze thickens, you can tent them loosely with foil.

What To Serve With Sheet Pan Holiday Ham Dinner

This is a complete meal on two trays! However, you can add a few extras.

  • Cranberry Sauce: For extra holiday flair.
  • Mashed Potatoes: If you crave a starch other than rolls.
  • Apple Cider: A festive drink pairing.
  • Pumpkin Pie: For dessert.

How To Store Sheet Pan Holiday Ham Dinner Recipe

  • Refrigerate: Store the ham, vegetables, and mushrooms in separate airtight containers if possible, or together in one large container. They will keep for 3-4 days. Store leftover rolls in a ziplock bag at room temperature.
  • Reheat: Reheat the ham and veggies on a sheet pan in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Freeze: Ham freezes well, but the green beans and stuffed mushrooms may become mushy upon thawing. It is best to enjoy the veggies fresh.

FAQs

Can I use a different glaze?

Yes, if you don’t like marmalade, you can use apricot preserves or a mixture of brown sugar, honey, and mustard for a more traditional ham glaze.

Do I have to use frozen rolls?

No, you can use fresh dinner rolls. If using fresh baked rolls, only add them for the last 3-4 minutes just to warm them up, or they will dry out.

Can I make this for more people?

This recipe is designed for 4 people using two sheet pans. To scale it up, you would need to use more sheet pans and rotate them carefully in the oven, or cook in batches.

A genius holiday hack that cooks glazed ham steaks, garlicky green beans, stuffed mushrooms, and dinner rolls all on two sheet pans for a stress-free feast.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz green beans

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, grated

  • 14 stuffed mushrooms (1 pkg)

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese

  • 2 ham steaks (1 lb each)

  • 1/3 cup marmalade

  • 2 tbsp orange juice

  • 2 tsp cornstarch

  • 1 tsp rosemary

  • 4 frozen rolls

  • 1 tbsp butter, melted

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake green beans with oil and garlic on upper rack for 15 mins.
  • Mix breadcrumbs, cheese, and parsley; stuff mushrooms.
  • Microwave marmalade; whisk in juice, cornstarch, rosemary, and water.
  • Place ham on second lined pan; brush with glaze.
  • Move beans to side; add mushrooms to pan.
  • Bake ham (upper) and veggies (lower) for 25 mins, glazing ham often.
  • Add rolls to veggie pan; brush with butter.
  • Bake 10 mins more until rolls are warm and ham is glossy.

Notes

  • Cleanup: Lining the ham pan with foil is essential because the sugary glaze will burn onto the pan and be very hard to scrub off.
  • Vegetarian Option: You can swap the ham steaks for thick slices of cauliflower or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian main, using a veggie-friendly glaze.
