Nancy's Ham Loaf (Using Lots of Ham)

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"There are many ham loaf recipes around but this one uses a much higher ratio of ham to ground pork which I happen to like. It produces a very tasty loaf with a nice tangy sauce on top. Here's a good way to use up leftover Easter ham."
