"THIS is a recipe that comes from my father's side of the family. It's a simple dish to make, good for just about any occasion. The sauce makes the meat especially flavorful. For me, this recipe brings back all kinds of memories of my childhood days in Nebraska. I hope you'll enjoy it in your home over and over again, so it can create some memories for you as well."

We love hamloaf, but we make it into a festive dish beautiful enough to serve for Christmas dinner! Form the ham loaf mix into individual loaves (2/3 to 3/4 cup each) and place in a 9 x 12 baking dish, Decorate the tops of the loaves with 2 pineapple churks and a maraschino cherry. Make the sauce and pour over the loaves. Bake at 300degrees F for 2 hours basting often until a glossy glaze forms...FANCY and DELISH!
My family and I had never heard of ham loaf before this recipe but we enjoyed it! The sweet basting sauce is delicious over the top. I added about a cup of finely deiced onion to the loaf mixture for a little extra flavor. It was great the next day too - I fried up the slices to have in breakfast sandwiches!
Have made it 4 or 5 times, gets better each time! Delicious
A good alternative to usual meat loaf - nice hammy taste. Don't neglect the basting sauce as it adds a lot a flavor. The loaf would be rather flat without it.
A lovely variation on the other meat loaf! I have made this as meat balls also and served with navy bean soup and cornbread!
Delicious! I really like the basting sauce.
