Ham Loaf with Mustard Sauce
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1-1/2 hours
YIELD: 2 ham loaves (6-8 servings each).
Brown sugar, mustard, herbs and spices season this hearty ham loaf. I like to make several loaves to serve to our retirement club. To speed things up, I use my food processor's chopper blade to grind the meat.
