Grandma Shadys Ham Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet or jellyroll pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix the smoked ham and ground pork together until thoroughly mixed, and lightly mix in the graham crackers, evaporated milk, and eggs. Form the mixture into two loaves, and place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet.
• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the tomato soup, brown sugar, vinegar, water, and dry mustard until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the brown sugar. Pour about 1 cup of sauce over each ham loaf, reserving remaining sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Slice and serve with reserved sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Place ham and pickles in a food processor; pulse until almost smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in eggs, celery, onion and mayonnaise. Spread 1/2 cup over each roll bottom; replace tops. Wrap each in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except glaze. I use a stand mixer.
• Make a loaf and place in a glass 9"x13" baking dish.
• Add 2 TBSP water to bottom of baking dish.
• Cover loaf with glaze.
• Bake at 325 for 11/2 hours or until 165 degrees.
• Allow to sit 15 minute before slicing.
• Au Gratin potatoes are an excellent accompaniment.

Steps:

• Grandma Shady's Ham Loaf: Grind together baked and smoked ham in a food grinder. Add crumbs, eggs and milk; mix well and shape into a loaf. Place in a lightly greased 9"x5" loaf pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with sauce; cover and bake at 325 degrees for an additional 2 hours. Uncover shortly before baking time is done; allow to brown slightly. Sauce: Combine ingredients and mix well. Tip: Cut leftover meatloaf into thick slices, wrap individually and freeze. Later, they can be thawed and rewarmed quickly for scrumptious meatloaf sandwiches at a few moments' notice.

Steps:

• Grind meat (if necessary).
• Mix ground meats, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper and milk together.
• Shape into a loaf.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour.
• For the sauce, mix the brown sugar, dry mustard, water and vinegar together.
• Pour sauce over loaf.
• Continue to bake for another hour.

Steps:

• Place the cumin seeds into a dry skillet over medium heat, and toast them, stirring constantly, until they give off a roasted fragrance and turn a darker brown, about 1 minute. Scrape the seeds into a bowl, and allow to cool. When cool, grind them with a mortar and pestle or a clean spice grinder. Set the ground seed aside.
• Remove stems of chiles if necessary, and soak pods in the apple cider vinegar in a bowl until soft, at least 1 hour. Place the softened chiles with vinegar, cumin, and garlic into a blender or food processor, and pulse until ground into a paste, 30 seconds to 1 minute or as needed.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the onions until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in ginger garlic paste and about 1 teaspoon of the Grandmother's Chile Paste mixture or as desired. Reduce heat to medium-low, and fry the onions with the spice pastes for 5 minutes to blend flavors. Stir in tomato paste, ground red pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, and cloves, and bring to a simmer. Cook to blend flavors, about 20 minutes.
• Mix in the lamb shank pieces, and stir in salt to taste; simmer for 20 minutes, and stir in the water. Bring the lamb and sauce to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer until lamb is very tender and sauce has thickened, 45 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro to serve.
