Neighbors happened to drop in the first time I made this recipe and they loved it. I often make the tasty favorite as a Sunday dinner for our family. —Peggy Anderjaska, Haigler, Nebraska

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk
2 to 3 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon grated onion
2 cups coarsely ground fully cooked ham
2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 large egg, room temperature, beaten
2 tablespoons water
Oil for deep-fat frying
CHEESE SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1-1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

In a saucepan, melt butter; stir in curry powder and flour. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in mustard and onion; add ham and mix well. Cover and chill thoroughly.
With wet hands, shape mixture into 10 balls. Roll balls in bread crumbs; shape each into a cone. Whisk together egg and water. Dip cones into egg mixture; roll again in crumbs.
Heat oil in an electric skillet or a deep-fat fryer to 375°. Fry croquettes, a few at a time, until golden brown, 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.
For the cheese sauce, melt butter in a saucepan; stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 2 minutes. Reduce heat. Add cheeses; stir until melted. Spoon over croquettes.
