Ham Loaf

Shared with me by: Pat K B (Mark's mom)

Makes 2 loaves, freeze one

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. ground ham (see Note below)
  • 1 lb. ground round beef
  • small onion, chopped fine
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 c. soft bread crumbs (2 slices in mini food processor) or 3/4 c. dry store bought bread crumbs
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1/4 t. pepper
  • 1 t. salt

Sauce

  • 1/4 c. water
  • 2/3 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. cider vinegar
  • 1-1/2 t. dry mustard
  • juice of half a lemon

Instructions

Mix ham, ground round beef, onion, eggs, bread crumbs, milk, salt and pepper. Divide mixture equally and place in 2 greased loaf pans.

You can freeze one loaf if you'd like and bake another day (freeze in a foil loaf pan).

Mix sauce ingredients and pour over each loaf, dividing accordingly.

Bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. Pour off fat and slice.

NOTE: Get the ground ham from a meat place/butcher (I use Jacobs Meat Market). You usually need to call ahead to order it.
