Ham Loaf

Submitted by khott13

"Central PA specialty, "Ham loaf"'s main ingredient can be hard to find outside of PA. If you can't grind your own ham at home, you might luck out and find a butcher who can for you. The milk and eggs will keep it moist while cooking, and the sauce is hard to beat (never hurts to make extra)."
