Using about 1/3 cup mixture for each, shape into balls. I used a regular-size ice cream scoop to shape the balls easily plus it keeps them all uniform in size. Place ham balls in a lightly greased rectangular baking dish or a foil lined shallow baking pan.

Baking the ham balls

Pour barbecue sauce over meatballs and place in a preheated oven. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted into balls registers 160°F. While the ham balls are baking, prepare the noodles or pasta.

    These look really good. I’m not a big fan of hamloaf but these look like they would have a different flavor. I might have to give these a try
