Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cubed ham
- 1 pound ground beef or pork
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt or salt and black pepper
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 10.5 ounce can tomato soup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9 baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a food processor, grind the cubed ham until it resembles the texture of ground beef.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground ham, ground beef, graham cracker crumbs, egg, milk, and seasoning salt or salt and black pepper.
- Shape the mixture into balls, roughly the size of golf balls, and arrange them in the baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato soup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and mustard. Pour this sauce evenly over the ham balls, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Bake the ham balls uncovered for 1 hour, spooning the sauce over the top every 20 minutes.
- Serve hot with the glaze spooned over the ham balls.
Notes
Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.
For extra flavor, add chopped onions or garlic to the meat mixture.
Let the ham balls rest for a few minutes after baking for easier serving.
