These Ham Rolls are a family favorite recipe. Fresh ground pork shaped into the shape of a roll baked in the most delicious sauce.
This is one of our special Sunday Dinner family favorite meals. This recipe for Ham Rolls is a family favorite passed on from her dear friend who passed a few years ago. Whenever my mom makes these, you know it’s going to be a GOOD SUNDAY! My mom is such a great cook, her Sunday Dinners are a highlight of our weeks for sure.
These photos are not the best, because we were at my parents home and the sun had already gone down, but just know that if you make this your family will love it.
You basically form the ground pork into little rolls or little mounds with a divot in the center to catch the sauce.

You then baste them with the most delicious sauce.
As they bake, you periodically open the oven to baste them, pulling the sauce from the pan to drizzle over the top each one.

How bout the recipe for the potatoes with the ham rolls!!
Hi Sydni! The recipe for the potatoes is coming tomorrow! 🙂
Is this like ground ham steak? Also, do you have the recipe for those potatoes on the side? They look yummy!
Hi Melissa! yes, I guess it is like ham steak. – The recipe for the potatoes is coming tomorrow! 🙂
One of my favorite meals! I don’t use as much vinegar and use pineapple juice instead of water. These look so good, I know I’ll be making them soon!
Here in Iowa the ground ham and ground pork are sold mixed together, and it is called ham loaf! I was skeptical, but last week I made mini meat loaves (basically the same as your recipe but in mini muffin tins) and it was the most popular meal I have ever made! My kids couldn’t stop raving and my petite little twelve year old ate 8 of them! Al though in her defense it was fast Sunday and she was starving! But she doesn’t even like meat!
Oh my goodness! That’s so great! You’ll have to try this sauce with them next time you make them, it’s so good! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kami, these look really good, but I need further information. I have looked and ground ham is not sold here and neither is just plain ground pork. So if I am using the meat grinder on my KitchenAid what kind of ham and pork am I buying to grind up? Did you use pieces of a whole or half smoked ham? and my husband loves to pick on me, he says because ham is pork what kind of pork did you use.. he thinks you probably mean sausage, but what if you mean Picnic roast (Which I use diced for my Chili Verdi recipe)… which is it? Can’t wait to hear from you as I would love to make these… Oh, my husband wants to know.. have you ever tried decreasing the water by half or more and using pineapple juice instead? He loves pineapple juice for basting his ham… Also, did you get around to posting the potato recipe, if so, what is the name of it so that I can look it up in your index of recipes…. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Susan! We use regular ground pork here. We don’t use sausage. So if you are grinding your own pork, you could use any kind of pork, I suppose. I think you could use picnic. Watch that there is not too much fat on it. I might even mix in a boneless pork chop, just to cut down on the fat. Ground pork is not really too fat. When I grind the ham, I just use leftover pieces of ham. Sometimes I even mix up the portions and use more ham than pork. Your husband is sort of right. Ha ha.
Also, my friend always adds pineapple juice to her marinade, so that would be fine. I prefer the other.
Good luck! Also – the parsley potato recipe is here: https://www.nobiggie.net/parsley-potatoes-recipe/
