Okay, here we are back in the kitchen again today and I am making an old recipe. It's called
ham loaf and they believe it it came it originated from Germany which really probably makes a lot of
sense since you'll find this in the Amish communities a lot. So if you ever travel through
the Amish communities most of the time ham loaf is on their menu. It is absolutely delicious and
it's fairly easy to do. So what Hamloaf is made up of is ham and pork. So it's really a one to
three combination. It's three times the ground ham with one part ground pork. So if I were done
that off camera for you, so we would have this all ready to go. And this recipe calls for one egg
So I'm going to crack that, put it in there. And then it calls for a half a cup of milk
We have half and half, so that's the reason I'm using half and half. We're going to add a half a cup of milk to that
I'm just going to whisk this up a little bit to break that egg up. One-fourth cup of ground saltines
You can use breadcrumbs if you like. I prefer saltines. Saltines will go ahead and give it salt in the recipe
So I won't salt this recipe. And then I added one-fourth teaspoon of ground garlic and one-fourth teaspoon of pepper
That's it. And add that in there and mix that up a little bit
Get that saltines to absorb that milk. And then you're just going to add your, you know what
I think I'll add it this way. And so we're just going to add this to the ground meat
So we're going to mix this up. And yes, I washed my hands before this
And remember, while I'm doing this, I lined, when I make meatloaf, I lined my little crock pot with aluminum foil for easy cleanup
And I oil the foil So make sure you do that so it doesn stick quite so bad okay and so you just mix this up and make sure you get it all mixed up it is a little
soupy so be aware of that when you're doing this and so we have our handbook what am I gonna do boom just drop it right in there
okay and so I'm gonna set this on high for five hours at two and a half hours
we need to glaze it. And so how we're going to glaze it is we're going to add two tablespoons
of brown sugar, two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and then one half a teaspoon of ground
mustard and one tablespoon of water. And just mix that together. I'm not sure that you can see that
but it's a vinegary type mixture. And after this is cooked two and a half hours, half time
then I will put it on top for the other half. You will not believe how delicious it is. And when
we're done I will come back and show you the finished product I wanted to tell
you about the product here that I use to grind up the saltines and the pork and
the ham it is a ninja and I'm going to link it below because this is probably my
most favorite kitchen appliance so don't miss out looking at this relatively
inexpensive and it can do a lot of jobs to save you time in the kitchen so here
it is we've already dug into it but it is delicious and what we did with it tonight
was we made sandwiches so we we are slicing it up and putting it on bread and eating it enjoy
