Combine egg, graham cracker crumbs, buttermilk, and parsley in a large bowl. Add ham, pork, and beef; mix well. Divide meat mixture into 12 portions. Press a cheese curd into each portion and, using wet hands, shape into a ball with cheese curd in the center. Place ham balls in prepared baking dish.
Prepare Tomato and Cider Vinegar Sauce: Combine tomato soup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, and pepper in a large saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly.
