Sauerkraut Ham Balls image

Cooking is something I've always enjoyed...particularly when I'm doing it for people who enjoy eating! This dish is such a family favorite that I'll buy a ham sometimes just so I can make. I'm a city bus driver who likes to swap recipes with passengers. My husband and I have two sons, 20 and 18.

These were just okay. I thought they would be more flavorful, but they were kind of bland.

These ham balls were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of breadcrumb or adding some milk to the mixture.

I'm not a huge fan of sauerkraut, but these ham balls were surprisingly good! The sauerkraut added a nice tangy flavor, and the ham kept them moist and juicy.
