Ham Loaf

1 pound ham steak, ground

1 pound ground chuck

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup milk

2 cups saltine crackers, crushed

2 teaspoons mustard

1/2 cup vinegar

2/3 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine the first five ingredients and form into a loaf. Score top diagonally in both directions with knife (about 1/4 " deep). Mix together the mustard, vinegar and brown sugar in a small sauce pan and heat and whisk until mustard is combined and sugar is dissolved. Set pan aside. Bake the ham loaf in a baking pan somewhat larger than the ham loaf so that the glaze will have room to caramelize. Bake the ham loaf for one hour. Pour sauce over the meat and bake an additional one hour, basting frequently, especially during the last 1/2 hour.
