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.

HAM BALLS
This is my newest, favorite meatball recipe. If you like a sweet twist, you'll like this one. The meatballs will be slightly pink inside when done because of the pork, so do not overbake them!

SUE'S HAM LOAF OR HAM BALLS
My mom's recipe. This recipe can easily be halved, and 4 lb of ham loaf mixture may be substituted for the ground ham and ground beef. When I made this, I used only ground ham and it was also good that way.
