Ham Loaf


Breno's friend from school gave us this recipe. It is delicious with left over ham from the holidays.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb ground ham (I grind this myself)
  • 1 lb ground pork (for a spicy loaf substitute in 1 lb sausage)
  • 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs (I use stuffing mix as I always have it on hand)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (I use water with the stuffing mix and it turns out fine-for diary free)
Mix all ingredients. Put in loaf pan. Bake 350 for 1 hr (160 degrees inside). Cover with foil first 30 minutes and then remove remaining 30 minutes (optional). Spread with ham glaze afterwards (store bought) or 15 minutes prior to finishing, I sprinkle top with brown sugar and squirt on some ketchup.
