Pineapple Ham Loaf

By flour_arrangements

Ham Loaf with Pineapples is a satisfying and inexpensive main dish. It’s nice enough for the holidays, but we have it often for everyday meals, too, since it’s so easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup crushed saltines (about 30 crackers)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds ground fully cooked ham
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 (8-ounce) can sliced pineapple, drained, divided

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Crumble ham and pork over mixture and mix well. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, vinegar and mustard; pour into an un-greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.

Arrange three pineapple slices in pan (refrigerate remaining pineapple for another use). Pat meat mixture into pan.

Cover and bake at 325°F for 1-1/2 hours. Uncover; bake 30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F.

Let stand for 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter.
