Ham Loaf

Submitted by papergoddess

"Delicious alternative to meat loaf. My mom passed this one down to me."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb ground ham (shank or butt, not deli ham)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard (or more)
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 can tomato soup, divided
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper

directions

1. Combine all ingredients and mix well.
2. Spread in a shallow baking dish (11X7 works well. You can use a loaf pan, but I find it tends to burn on the bottom).
3. Spread remaining 1/2 can tomato soup on top.
4. Bake@ 350F for 45 minutes to an hour.

Made it forllowing directions to the "T". Never have made anything with tomato soup before, won't again. Turned out a little bland and dry. Second time I made it, reduced the pound of ground beef to 1/2 a pound., added a 1/2 pound sausage, reduced brown sugar to two tbsp, added 1 cup chopped onion, diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning along with some chives. Turned out much better. Topped it with a thick layer of Ketchup, a good brand). Even had some leavings to make a little gravy. Hope you will try it.

I thought this tasted good and smelled wonderful baking, but not my 5 year old and hubby. Daughter didn't want to eat it because it looked different(color, I guess?). Hubby still prefers traditional meatloaf. I still think it was very tasty(I'm not a picky eater!).

I used this recipe for New Year's however I make them into ham balls and they were delicious. I did omit tomato soup and used another Zaar recipe for the sauce. Everyone loved them! Thanks

We make this EVERY christmas eve. It melts in your mouth and is super easy to make. I lost the recipe a few months ago and I was devastated! The other recipes posted on here just aren't the same. I'm so happy you posted it! We usually double it because there is never enough for a good amount of leftovers. I make it with cheesy potatoes, green beans, a salad, and cherry pie. My favorite meal of the year! Thanks again.

This definetly ranks high on my favorites list. Doesn't last long when mom makes it, we're always sniffing around for more! Very important - don't use ham steaks or deli ham, leftover boiled or baked ham is best
