ham loaf
Baked pork loaf
Ham loaf is a baked dish of ground ham mixed with other ground meat, eggs, and breadcrumbs, formed into a loaf and often glazed.
It's comfort food in American Midwestern cooking, particularly Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine: Grandma always made ham loaf for Easter dinner.
The texture resembles meatloaf but with ham's distinctive salty-sweet flavor.
