Holiday Ham Balls Recipes

SLOW COOKER HAM BALLS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the ground ham, pork, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, milk, and parsley, if using. Mix until thoroughly blended.
• Shape the meat mixture into balls. To keep them uniform in size, portion the mixture with a 1/4-cup measuring cup for large entrée-size balls or use a cookie scoop for appetizers.
• Arrange the ham balls in the prepared baking pan; bake for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and ground mustard in a saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
• Transfer the baked ham balls to the slow cooker and pour the glaze mixture over them. Cook on high for 30 minutes. Turn to the low or warm setting for serving.

HOLIDAY HAM & CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Place the cream cheese in a large, covered bowl and allow to soften at room temperature while preparing the other ingredients.
• Lay several pieces of ham on a cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips. Turn the cutting board and slice again, forming small squares. Set aside in a medium bowl or on a plate and separate the squares. Repeat with the rest of the ham.
• Slice the bunch of green onions into very thin rings.
• When the cheese is softened, add in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, green onions (add all or just enough for your preference), and 1/2 of the ham. Mix together well until ingredients are uniformly distributed.
• Using a large piece of plastic wrap, shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the remaining ham pieces (faster) or manually press the ham squares into the cheese ball (prettier). Place on a plate and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow to chill for a few hours or overnight before serving. Serve with crackers, vegetables or crusty bread.
