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 โ€” it is somewhat nostalgic and doesn't take long.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground smoked ham
  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1.5 cups evaporated milk
  • 3 eggs , beaten
  • 1 , 10.75 ounce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cups white vinegar
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon ground dry mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet or jellyroll pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Combine smoked ham and ground pork in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed; lightly stir in graham crackers, evaporated milk, and eggs. Form mixture into two loaves; place loaves onto the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Whisk tomato soup, brown sugar, vinegar, water, and dry mustard together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until well combined. Bring to a boil, stirring until brown sugar is dissolved. Pour about 1 cup sauce over loaves; reserve remaining sauce.
