Swedish Meatballs

This is a truly yummy recipe, again, from my amazing sister-in-law. I'm not a fan of meatballs or sweet meats, but these I LOVE! I think this is her grandma's recipe, so treat this treasure with care!

1 lb ground ham*
1 ½ lbs (32oz) ground pork sausage (Jimmy Dean is best)
2 c. plain bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 c. milk
Mix all ingredients together and shape into 1 ½-2 inch balls. Place in a non-greased pan. Pour sauce over meatballs. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour. Turn them after 30 minutes. Makes about 40 meatballs. Uncooked meatballs can be frozen. Thaw before cooking.

Serve with rice, or as a breakfast meat.

Sauce for Swedish Meatballs
2 c. brown sugar
2 t. dry mustard
1 c. vinegar
1 c. water
Combine and stir over medium heat. Pour over meatballs. Extra sauce can be stored in the fridge for about a week.

*This is a great way to use up leftover ham from the Holidays. Just stick it in your food processor and pulse it a few times. YUM!
