The only difference today is that I can't get home-smoked ham like those Grandpa used to cure in his old-fashioned smokehouse. But that never matters to hungry folks at the table-Grandma's recipe is a winner every time!"

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: For a moist and flavorful ham loaf, use a combination of ground pork and ground ham. You can also use all ground pork or all ground ham, but the combination of the two will give you the best results.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. You can also add herbs like parsley, sage, or thyme.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for a longer period of time (about 1 hour per pound). This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and juicy.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Ham loaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a sandwich. It's a great way to use up leftover ham, and it's also a budget-friendly meal.
