Description

Enjoy the delightful flavors of Ham Balls, featuring cubed ham and ground beef, all enveloped in a sweet and tangy glaze. This easy recipe is perfect for quick dinners or hearty comfort food that everyone will love.


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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9 baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a food processor, grind the cubed ham until it resembles the texture of ground beef.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground ham, ground beef, graham cracker crumbs, egg, milk, and seasoning salt or salt and black pepper.
  4. Shape the mixture into balls, roughly the size of golf balls, and arrange them in the baking dish.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake the ham balls uncovered for 1 hour, spooning the sauce over the top every 20 minutes.
  7. 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.
