Recipe: Ham Loaf with Pineapple Slices

Hi Regina,

I hope one of these recipes is the one! I haven't made either, but I think the first was a more popular version because I ran across a few copies of the same recipe with different names. Also, I think the egg in it will make for a better loaf. If anyone has a tried and true recipe for this to share we'd love to see it!

Pineapple Ham Loaf
From: Cookbook USA
Makes 8 serving

1 lb. smoked ham, ground
1 lb. lean fresh pork, ground
2 eggs
3/4 c. soft bread crumbs

Mix together all ingredients except pineapple. Divide mixture into 9 patties. In a shallow baking dish, form a long roll, alternating a patty and pineapple slice. Begin and end roll with meat. First, bake for 30 minutes in slow oven (325 degrees), then baste with Spicy Glaze and bake for 1 hour longer, basting every 20 minutes.
