Brown Sugar–Glazed Ham and Beef Loaf

Brown Sugar–Glazed Ham and Beef Loaf blends smoky ground ham with beef for a richly seasoned, tender slice. A caramel-kissed brown sugar and mustard glaze adds sweet-tangy notes that balance the savory meat, making it perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or next-day sandwiches. Serve warm with simple sides like mashed potatoes or a crisp salad.

Brown Sugar–Glazed Ham and Beef Loaf
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Put the bread in a large bowl, pour in the milk, and let it soak until soft. Mash well, then mix in the ham, beef, eggs, salt, dry mustard, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Combine thoroughly and press the mixture into a 9x13 glass baking dish.

  3. 3

    Stir together 1 cup of brown sugar, flour, and prepared mustard. Add enough vinegar to make a spreadable paste. Spread the topping over the meat.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for one hour, until the ground beef is cooked and the topping is nicely browned.
