Fun Hormel Ham Southern Kentucky Derby Ham Cups Recipe #HormelFamily

We’re still sharing recipes from Hormel this week with the Kentucky Derby theme and as I said I’m not Kentucky Derby expert. My knowledge extends to knowing that horses are involved and I think it’s a race. Am I right? Well Hormel has more to say about the Kentucky Derby and it starts with fun……

The Derby isn’t just about horse racing and southern comfort food. It’s also about sporting classy, fashionable styles in headwear. Encourage your guests, young and old, male and female, to don hats, just like the spectators live at Louisville’s Churchill Downs racetrack. Fancy or homemade, the bigger and funnier the better!

Then it gest better with this recipe:
