Cajun Grilled Ham - with Creole spice mix

Now this is southern, y'all. You know how it is when you have a family gathering and get sent home with a giant ziplock bag of left over ham. Sure, you could use it for sandwiches, and beans, and breakfast.....but you'll want to save a little for this idea: cajun grilled ham.  There's nothing to it. Just brown that sucker up with some spices.

What you'll need:
Thickly sliced, fully cooked ham
Creole Cajun Seasoning
A little cooking oil

Heat up your skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil (I like to use cast iron for great caramelization). Sprinkle your ham with a good dose of the Creole seasoning and brown it in your skillet on both sides. Since it's fully cooked already, you are just going for color here. Render any bits of fat out and get that seasoning nicely browned into it.  
I did this the other night as a quick dinner for the kids with some fresh bread and frozen veggies.  The Creole just takes it from plain to pow! You won't even remember that you are eating left overs.
