For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using a combination of smoked ham and bacon. Feel free to experiment with the glaze! A touch of maple syrup or a dash of Worcestershire sauce can add complexity. To prevent sticking, grease the loaf pan thoroughly before adding the ham loaf mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to prevent drying out.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the ground smoked ham, ground pork, eggs, and bread crumbs. Mix until just combined, adding more bread crumbs, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together without being too dense. (10 minutes)
03
StepTransfer the mixture to a standard loaf pan. Gently pat the top to even it out. (2 minutes)
04
StepBake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). (75 minutes)
05
StepWhile the loaf is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mustard, and soy sauce until smooth. (3 minutes)
06
StepDuring the last 15 minutes of baking, remove the loaf from the oven and evenly spread the glaze over the top. Return to the oven and continue baking until the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. (15 minutes)
07
StepLet the ham loaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf. (10 minutes)
