These are really wonderful and a great way to use leftover ham! My kids LOVED them which is a 10-star recipe in my book. Used whole wheat bread crumbs instead of cracker crumbs. Ran the ham through the food processor, then the onion and green pepper, so prep was very fast. Served with rice. Sauce is very sweet but pairs nicely with the saltiness of the ham. Thought leftovers were even better the next day. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

These are very good. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't put any milk into the meat mixture. They came out moist without any milk. I doubled the recipe and ended up with 169 ham balls! I wanted the meatballs to be small enough for a toothpick to hold them without their falling off. I rolled them about 1 1/4 inch diameter, give or take. It took a couple of hours to make them, but I'd say it was worth it. As recommended, I tripled the sauce recipe, but I don't think that was necessary. I ended up with much more sauce than needed. Very nice flavor and texture. Thanks, Tara, for a tasty change from regular cocktail meatballs!

I had some leftover ham in the freezer from my son's wedding in july so I wanted to use it up before it went bad. This recipe caught my eye so I whipped it up & as it turned out had some unexpected company for dinner both my husband & the guest loved it, also made up a plate for a widower, with rice & fresh carrots out of the garden made a wonderful meal with the sauce over the rice too loved it
