"This is a great way to use up leftover cooked ham, since this makes two meat loaves you can freeze one uncooked, just omit the chili sauce and bacon on top, thaw in refrigerator overnight, top with tomato sauce and bacon, then bake as directed."

Made this in an effort to use up some of the Christmas ham. Not a big hit at our house. I wouldn't make this recipe again but it was certainly worth trying ... next time I will just grind up some of the ham and put it in my "regular" meatloaf recipe.
