I'm pretty sure these ham balls would taste good reheated. I can't guarantee that that's so, though
Ingredients:
1 pound ground fully cooked ham
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill or 3 teaspoons dried dill, divided
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup water
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
hot cooked noodles
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine ham, bread crumbs, onions, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried), milk, egg, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Shape into 1-in. balls.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Brown ham balls, adding remaining butter and oil as needed. Remove ham balls to a serving dish; cover and keep warm.
3. Pour ham drippings into a saucepan; blend in flour. Gradually add water and stir until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low. Add sour cream and remaining dill and pepper; heat through, but do not boil. Pour over the ham balls. Serve over noodles. Yield: 6 servings.
