Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground ham, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 7

After 60 minutes, remove the ham loaf from the oven and brush the remaining glaze on top.
