Instructions
    Grinding
  1. 1
    Course GrindInto large bowl grind all the ingredients on a course setting except for the Miracle Whip and Kool-Aid.
    It is best to alternate the ingredients to aid in mixing before the next step. Using a whole ham and a block of American cheese works easiest for grinding.
  2. 2
    Medium GrindMix well the results of the course grind. Grind these on a medium grind.
    It's up to you if you want to do a fine grind step.
    3. Mixing
  3. 3
    Add Miracle WhipAdd half of the Miracle Whip and mix well. Add more Miracle Whip to taste.
  4. 4
    Add Kool-AidThis is strictly for 'aesthetics.' Adding about half a package of unsweetened Cherry Kool-Aid will make the ham salad appear more pink and the color will last longer.
