Bump for after church when I have more time
I made these 2 days ago, and they’re NOMS!
Iowa Ham Balls
Ingredients
3-1/2 pounds ground ham
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) tomato soup, undiluted
3/4 cup vinegar
2-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
Directions
In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients. Using a 1/3 cup measure, shape mixture into 2-in. balls. Place in two large shallow roasting pans. Combine all remaining ingredients; pour over balls. Bake at 325° for 1 hour, basting frequently with sauce. Yield: about 15 servings.
Total Time: 1 hr 10 min
Servings: 5-6
Ingredients :
1 1/2 pounds Apples (3-4), peeled, cored and cut into thick slices
2-3 TBSP Unsalted Butter
1 TBSP Cornstarch, optional
1 pint Blueberries or Blackberries
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 C Granulated Sugar
1 TBSP Lemon Rind, finely grated
For the Topping:
2 C All-purpose flour
1 C Old-Fashioned Oats
1/2 C Walnuts
1 C Brown Sugar
4 ounces Unsalted Butter (1/2 stick)
Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a heavy bottomed pan, melt the butter and saute the apple slices until they release some liquid and soften a little. If the juice is very thin, remove the fruit but leave the juice in the pan. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and cook for a few minutes to thicken. Remove the pan from the heat and toss the cooked apple slices, berries, cinnamon, sugar and lemon rind with the thickened juice. Turn the apple-berry mixture into a 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Combine the flour, oatmeal, walnuts, brown sugar and butter in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture combines. Scatter the topping over the fruit and bake for 45 minutes. the fruit should bubble and the topping will turn a golden brown.
Additional Tips
Use good baking apples, like Granny Smith or a combination of apples, like Red delicious and Granny Smith for interesting textures. Use only the colored part of the rind..no white pulp or it will be bitter.
(*) though anything is always possible...
Being National Hot Dog Month, this isn’t exactly a recipe, but something that I stumbled on. I had some good quality hot dogs and found myself craving them, as well as peanut butter, then started thinking about the bacon I’d made earlier. I was disappointed to Google and find out peanut butter, bacon hot dogs weren’t an original idea. Nom, nom, nom.
