Ham Balls

If you have never been to Iowa and not had a ham ball you don't know what you are missing.  Try this recipe with cheesy potatoes and you will have a stick to your rib meal.  Try them you will like them.

1 lb ham loaf - see note
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg


For the sauce use

1 can tomato soup
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard

Mix meat, graham crackers, milk, and eggs together and form into 9-10 balls.  Please in a large flat baking dish.  Mix soup, sugar vinegar, and mustard and pour over ham balls.  Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees uncovered.  This recipe may be prepared ahead and held in the refrigerator until time to use.

*Note:  If you can't find ham loaf, use 1/2 lb ground ham and 1/2 lb ground pork to make up your pound of ham loaf.
