Classic Ham Loaf
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground smoked ham
  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon ground dry mustard
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Alternatively, you can set it to 165 degrees Celsius for a more precise measurement.
2
Prepare a large baking sheet or jellyroll pan by covering it with parchment paper, making sure to cover the entire surface.
3
In a large mixing container, combine the smoked ham and ground pork until they are completely incorporated. Then, gently fold in the graham crackers, evaporated milk, and eggs to create a uniform mixture.
4
Take the formed mixture and divide it into two equal portions. Place each portion onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
5
In a medium-sized saucepan over low-medium heat, blend the tomato soup, brown sugar, vinegar, water, and dry mustard until they are fully incorporated. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the brown sugar.
6
Pour approximately 1 cup of the sauce over each ham loaf, reserving the remaining sauce for later use.
7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours. After the time is up, remove the loaves from the oven and slice them before serving.
8
Finally, serve the sliced ham loaves with the reserved sauce on the side.
