For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce mixture. If you prefer a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. The ham loaf can be prepared a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator and bake it just before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground smoked ham and ground pork. Gently mix in the crushed graham crackers, evaporated milk, and beaten eggs until just combined. Divide the mixture and form into two uniform loaves. Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet. (20 minutes)
03
StepIn a saucepan, whisk together the condensed tomato soup, brown sugar, white vinegar, water, and ground dry mustard over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce is well combined. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then remove from heat. Pour about 1 cup of the sauce evenly over the ham loaves, reserving the remaining sauce for serving. (10 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the ham loaf reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with the reserved sauce. (2 hours)

Mar 1, 2025I found that baking it at a slightly lower temperature (300 degrees F) helped to keep the loaves moist.
