Oooh la la! So elegant, so refined! This is the perfect addition to the Hamtacular Spectacular. (Thanks to Corrine True of the Immanuel Lutheran Dorcas Society for this unusual recipe.) Enjoy - and remember, if anyone makes fun of you for makin a froo-froo souffle, you remind them that there's never nothin froo-froo about the Midwest's favorite: Haaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Ingredients:
16 slices fresh bread (remove crust)
8 oz. cream cheese
2 c. ham (cubed) or sausage (cooked) (wait a minute - if I'm readin this right, if you're usin ham it doesn't have to be cooked? that's ... hold on - is ham raw? or is it cured? can you tell I'm a vegetarian?)
3 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
6 eggs
2 c. corn flakes (crushed)
1/2 c. butter (melted)
Oven temp: 350 degrees
Pan size: 9x13 bakin pan
How to:
Butter a 9x13-inch pan. Fit 8 slices of bread to cover bottom of pan. Add ham and cheese, top with 8 slices of bread. Mix other ingredients, pour over last layer of bread, cover with foil and refrigerate. (I don't know much about makin souffles, but this doesn't sound like the souffles I've seen before...) Before bakin, bring to room temperature, remove foil and top with corn flakes and butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Garnish with fresh fruit on servin plates. (I take it this is a breakfast dish then? It seems awful breakfasty.)

Ham Spread
The final entry in this weekend's Hamtacular Spectacular is Ham Spread. It's simple, it's versatile, it's got ham in it. Hey, I have an idea - if you're havin a Stupor Bowl party, why not just serve 10 different kinds of ham and/or SPAM to your guests? You won't have to look farther than this blog for awesome ideas! How bout servin Ham Balls, Ham Logs, Ham Spread and SPAM truffles? Mmmmmm....sounds like delicious!
This recipe is courtesy of Janet Leckness of Immanuel Lutheran Church & School. "Lutheran Schools Care A Lot!"
Ingredients:
2 c. ground ham
1-8 oz. package cream cheese
1/4 c. Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. dry parsley
1/4 c. onion, finely chopped
How to:
Combine and let stand in refrigerator 2 to 3 hours or overnight. (See, I told you it was easy! Wait - what are you supposed to serve this with? Crackers? Bread? Sorry, I don't know. Maybe you just put a spoon in it and eat it straight like ice cream.)

Ham Logs with Raisin Sauce
This one is for my brother DB, who loves ham so much that when he meditates, his mantra is "Haaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" I know he really misses good ol Midwest cookin, so I decided that this weekend should be a Hamtacular Spectacular.
It's also my Dad's birthday today, and he's an even bigger fan of ham than my brother. Happy birthday, Dad!
This recipe is courtesy of Mildred Sinnwell, and comes from the Immanuel Lutheran Dorcas Society's 1992 cookbook, Generations of Good Cookin.
Now if I could only get a copy of my brother's recipe for Pickle Surprise!
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground ham
1/2 lb. ground pork
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. oatmeal
1 egg
2 tbsp. horseradish
1/2 tsp. salt & pepper
Raisin Sauce:
1 tbsp. corn starch
3/4 c. cold water
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. raisins
Oven temp: 350 degrees
Pan size: standard bakin dish
How to:
Combine all ingredients; mix well. Shape into logs about 2-inches long. Place into bakin dish. Cover with raisin sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.
For Raisin Sauce: Mix water and corn starch; blend well. Add remainin ingredients. Cook until mixture is smooth, stir continually. Pour over ham logs. (Logically, wouldn't it make sense to tell us to make the sauce and set it aside BEFORE tellin us to "combine all ingredients"? I guess Mildred's just assumin that everyone knows how to make Ham Balls/Logs/Whatever and only a grade-A moron would put the sauce ingredients in with the rest of the stuff.)

Ham Balls
Let's repeat that mantra: Haaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Part two of today's Hamtacular Spectacular. This recipe is H. J. Lichty's (does the H stand for Ham?), from the Immanuel Lutheran Dorcas cookbook, Generations of Good Cookin. I realize that Ham Balls and Ham Logs are very similar, but different meat shapes for different folks, right?
Besides, now that you know how to make em both, if you're havin a fancy party, you can serve a big ol platter of logs and balls - boy oh boy, your guests will sure thank you!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs. smoked ground ham
1 lb. ground lean pork
2 lbs. ground beef (good lawd, that's a lot of meat!)
3 eggs
3 c. graham cracker crumbs
2 c. milk
Sauce:
2 cans tomato soup (oh good, this recipe is low-salt)
3/4 c. vinegar
2 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. dry mustard
Oven temp: 350 degrees
Pan size: ??? (casserole? bakin dish? who knows?)
How to:
Mix well the meats, eggs, crumbs, and milk. (Be sure to wash your hands after touchin your balls, kids.) Use ice cream dipper to form balls. Heat sauce and pour over balls. (OUCH!) Bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. These freeze very well baked or unbaked. Makes 40 balls. (That's a lottanuts balls!)

Double-Decker Dinner
This casserole recipe comes to us from the First Lutheran Church Cookbook, courtesy of a Mrs. Nancy Niedert. Bein vegetarian, I am not about to try this recipe myself - but if you're a brave carnivore and make the attempt, please send me a picture of the finished product and after I return from puking in the sink, I'll post it on the blog.
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. tomato juice
1 1/2 c. soft bread crumbs, 2 slices bread
3/4 tsp. salt
dash pepper
1 lb. ground beef, pork, lamb, veal, or 2 c. cooked ground ham
1-10 oz. package frozen chopped broccoli
1 1/4 c. boiling water
1 c. quick-cooking rice
1/2 tsp. minced, dried onions (regular onion can be used in place of dry if you want)
1 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1 c. shredded American cheese
2 eggs, beaten
Oven temp: 350 degrees
Pan size: 8x8 square, 2" deep
Cook time: 50 minutes total
How To:
In a mixin bowl, combine the first beaten egg, tomato juice, bread crumbs, 3/4 tsp. salt and pepper. Add meat and mix well. Pat meat evenly in bottom of ungreased pan or bakin dish (go ahead and give it a good smack, you devil you). Bake for 20 minutes. Drain off excess juices (gag) when done.
Meanwhile, in a 1-1/2 quart saucepan, cook broccoli in the water accordin to directions on package. DO NOT DRAIN! (woah - flashback...) (If usin a microwave, omit this step, just mix ingredients together and bake.) Stir in rice, onion, and salt. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in milk, half of the cheese, and the 2 beaten eggs. Spread mixture over baked meat. Return to bakin dish to oven and bake for 30 minutes or till rice mixture is firm. Sprinkle remainin cheese on top. Let stand 10 minutes before servin. (If usin microwave, you might want to return to oven for a couple minutes to melt cheese.) (you, my dear Nancy, are a parentheses hog)
If usin ham, decrease salt. (why? because ham is salty? is that really goin to make a difference in the health benefits of this food?) May be done in microwave, but reduce water to 1/2 the amount. Recipe may be doubled without any problems (oh phew, I was worried), put in loaf cake pan.
