Ham Balls:

Glaze:
- 1 cup brown sugar packed

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
Grind the ham up in the food processor.
In a large bowl add the ham, pork, beaten egg, panko crumbs, milk, salt, and pepper. Combine all the ingredients together.
Take about ⅓ cup of ham mixture and roll into a ball with your hands. Place the ham balls into a greased 9×13 baking dish. There should be 12 ham balls.
In a small bowl mix together glaze ingredients until combined.
Pour the glaze over the ham balls,
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and cooked through to 160 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature.
Serve immediately.
FRIDGE: Transfer these easy ham balls into an airtight container and store in the fridge for 4-5 days.
FREEZER: Place leftovers in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before reheating.
To reheat, place in the oven or on the stovetop with any leftover glaze and heat to a safe internal temperature. You can also reheat in the microwave, but it could make the texture a little chewy.
