Gram's famous recipe for western Pennsylvania ham loaf is the perfect way to use leftover smoked ham after Christmas or Easter. Be sure to serve it with a generous amount of sauce. We use a hand-held meat grinder belonging to my husband's great-grandmother — it is somewhat nostalgic and doesn't take long.
