Description

Let me start by saying, please don’t let the name of this recipe deter you from trying it. Many people not raised in my home state of Iowa may not even know what ham balls are. Well, let me tell you that they are what comfort food is all about. A Midwest potluck favorite, served on top of a pile of mashed potatoes or spaetzle.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Ham Loaf
  • 1  Egg, Slightly Beaten
  • ¾ cups Milk
  • 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers
  • 1 can (10 3/4 Oz. Size) Tomato Soup
  • ⅓ cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard

Preparation

In a bowl, mix ham loaf, egg, milk, and graham crackers. Using a cookie scoop, form into 1-inch balls.

Lay ham balls on a large cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes at 350°F, turning once halfway through.

Place ham balls into a greased 9×13 casserole dish. Mix tomato soup, vinegar, brown sugar, and mustard. Pour sauce over ham balls.

Bake for another 30–35 minutes at 350°F.
