About This Recipe  

You will not believe just how AMAZING and SIMPLE this recipe is! You literally just combine the root beer and brown sugar in a pan and boil it down a little so that it is slightly thickened. Then you place the spiral ham fat side up (spiral slided down) in a crock pot and pour the root beer mixture on and brush it in the slices a little. The only thing left to do is to let it cook on LOW for 2 hours. That’s it!! Easy peasy!

How crazy simple is that! You end up with the most TENDER and JUICY spiral ham ever!

Don’t have any root beer? Not a problem. The root beer can be SWAPPED out with Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, whatever carbinated soda you have on hand. I can testify, though, that the root beer is AMAZING!
