HAM LOAF
"I COPIED this recipe exactly the way Grandma has written it in her worn cookbook. 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!"

PINEAPPLE HAM LOAF
I "inherited" this recipe from the family that owned the building where I rented my first apartment. It's one of my favorites and very easy to prepare. It's great for company because you can mix the loaf in advance, then simply pour on the sauce before putting it in the oven...it's the sauce that makes it so good!

LANCASTER COUNTY HAM LOAF WOW WOW WOW
Now THIS is Lancaster County cooking! This is an Amish/Mennonite specialty dish! You will NOT be disappointed! Of course in our area, many of the markets and butcher/meat shops, sell ham loaf meat (already ground and mixed) but I've simplified this by making it possible for all of you outside of the area to create your own! This is SO delicious! ENJOY!

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.
