Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 to 3 pounds thick-cut boneless ham steaks About 4 to 6 slices, each 3/4 to 1 inch thick
  • 1 cup yellow mustard Or Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar Packed down

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard and brown sugar until the mixture is thick, smooth, and glossy with no large dry pockets of sugar.
    1 cup yellow mustard, 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Spoon a thin layer of the sweet mustard mixture over the bottom of the slow cooker.

Notes

Store leftover ham steaks with the sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave with a spoonful of sauce over the top, covering loosely to prevent splattering. If the sauce thickens in the refrigerator, warm it with the ham to loosen it.
