Aunt Flora's Ham Loaf (ca 1930s)

AUNT FLORA’S HAM LOAF
from Maxine’s Recipe Box

1 lb. smoked ham, ground (I ask for lean - no fat)
1 lb. pork sausage
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
Chopped onion
Sage
Pepper (no salt)
Either grind the ham and the pork sausage together or mix together thoroughly. Soak breadcrumbs (about 2 small slices) in milk. Add eggs. Season to taste with sage, onion, pepper. Bake in moderate oven. Remove from oven—cover with 1/4 cup rich milk. Bake 20 min. longer, until loaf breaks away from tin.
