Tips:
- Fresh meat is the key to delicious ham balls. Choose high-quality ground ham and avoid using pre-packaged ham, which can be dry and flavorless.
- Don't overmix the ham mixture. Overmixing will make the ham balls tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a large skillet to cook the ham balls. This will prevent them from overcrowding and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the ham balls over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Make sure the brown sugar sauce is simmering before adding the ham balls. This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Serve the ham balls immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite sides.
