Best Holiday Ham Balls Recipes
IOWA HAM BALLS
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.

CHRISTMAS HAM BALLS
My mom started making this dish at Christmas years ago and it's a hit every time. The sweet and savory combination is wonderful. Tip: When you go to the deli to get the meat, have them grind the two types together so you don't have to go the trouble of having to mix them together when you get home!

HOLIDAY HAM & CHEESE BALL
My mother always makes this cheese ball at Christmas, and growing up, I never realized there was any other kind of "cheese ball" but this one. I now make it for get togethers, holidays, or sometimes just because it's so good! There is never any left overs, and everyone always wants the recipe. This recipe makes 1 large ball or 2 small balls. *Note: My mother puts 1 tsp of Accent (MSG) in hers. I never buy this stuff, so I leave it out, and I can't tell a difference.

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.
HAM BALLS WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE
These smoky-sweet meatballs are a Pennsylvania Dutch specialty. I like setting them out when folks come to visit. -Janet Zeger, Middletown, Pennsylvania
