Caramel Ham Loaf

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, combine the torn bread and milk. Allow the bread to soak until softened, then mash well with a fork or potato masher. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Add the ground ham, ground beef, beaten eggs, salt, dry mustard, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the bread mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pack the ham loaf mixture into a 9x13 inch glass baking dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar, flour, and prepared mustard. Gradually stir in the distilled white vinegar until a spreadable paste forms. Adjust the amount of vinegar as needed to achieve the desired consistency. (5 minutes)
