Pork Loaf image

This is a new-wave meatloaf! I just purchase a 1-pound piece of smoked ham at the deli department for this and chop it finely on my processor, any brand will do as long as it is a smoke flavor ham, or save some of your cooked leftover ham to make this! I have made it two times in one month, including today, and has become a favorite of my familys. You can use regular saltine crackers for this in place of whole wheat crackers, and red bell pepper can be substituted for green, or use both!

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.

  • Shape into an approx 9x5-inch loaf, and place onto a shallow greased baking pan.
  • Using a long knife, make shallow criss-cross (diamond) pattern in the top of of loaf.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile for the glaze blend the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • After 30 minutes of baking remove from oven and drizzle about 1/3 cup glaze over loaf and return to oven to bake for another 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, drizzle the remaining glaze over loaf and bake for about another 22-25 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 165°F.
  • Transfer the loaf to a platter; let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Pour the pan juices into a small bowl and whisk to blend.
  • Slice the loaf and serve with the pan juices.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I loved this pork loaf! The meat was so moist and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

This is my go-to pork loaf recipe. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. I love that I can use ground turkey or chicken instead of pork, which makes it a healthier option.

I made this pork loaf for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the glaze, which gave the meat a nice caramelized crust.

This pork loaf was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some applesauce or grated zucchini.

Not bad! I liked the texture of the pork loaf, but I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
