This is a special recipe my whole family likes. Every time they visit and I make Ham Balls, they're all smiles. When I take this to potluck meals, I'm always asked to share the recipe. It's very appropriate for my region, too, since Iowa farmers raise prize-winning pigs and cattle.

Combine the ground ham, ground pork, beaten eggs, graham cracker crumbs, milk, and minced onion in a large bowl. I used my food processor to chop leftover ham until finely ground. Just be careful not to turn it into a pate. You could also use a meat grinder if you have one.
Mix the ham ball ingredients together gently with your hands. You don't want to overwork meatballs or they will turn out dense and tough.
Shape into large balls using a large cookie scoop or 1/3 cup measuring cup if serving as a main, or smaller balls with a medium or small scoop if you want to serve as appetizers.
