Description

Ground ham and beef are baked with a brown sugar glaze, making a delicious and easy main dish. This recipe was a favorite in my catering and restaurant business. Ground ham, ground beef, eggs, bread, brown sugar and mustard.

Ingredients

10 (1 ounce) slices white bread, torn into pieces
2 1/2 cups milk
2 pounds ground smoked ham
1 pound ground beef
6 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons flour
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place the bread in a large bowl, pour in the milk and soak until soft. Mash well, then mix in the ham, beef, eggs, salt, dry mustard, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Mix thoroughly and pack the mixture into a 9x13 glass baking dish. Stir together 1 cup of brown sugar, flour, and prepared mustard. Stir in enough vinegar to make a spreadable paste. Spread the topping over top of the meat.
3 Bake in preheated oven for one hour until the ground beef has cooked, and the topping has browned nicely.
