GRAM'S HAM LOAF



Gram's Ham Loaf image

Famous Western Pennsylvania Ham Loaf. Perfect way to use up left over smoked ham after Christmas or Easter. Be sure to serve it with a generous amount of sauce. We use a hand-held meat grinder that belonged to my husband's great-grandmother - doesn't take long and is somewhat nostalgic.

GRAHAM CRACKERS

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 55m

Yield 25 to 30 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 3/8 ounces graham flour
1 7/8 ounces all-purpose flour
3 ounces dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes and chilled
2 1/4 ounces molasses
1 1/2 ounces whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the molasses, milk and vanilla extract and process until the dough forms a ball, approximately 1 minute. Press the ball into a 1/2-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the chilled dough and place it onto a large piece of parchment paper and top with a second sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough out until it is 1/8-inch thick. Slide the rolled dough and parchment paper onto a half sheet pan. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the dough, using a rolling pizza cutter into 2-inch square pieces, by making vertical and then horizontal cuts all the way across the dough. Trim off any excess. Using a fork, poke holes all over the top of the dough. Leave the crackers on the pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes or until the edges just start to darken. Remove from the oven, set the sheet pan with the crackers on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once completely cool, break into individual crackers and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil for brushing
30 saltine crackers
2 1/2 pounds ground beef (85 percent lean)
1 large yellow onion (10 ounces)
1 large carrot (5 ounces)
2 medium cloves garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 large eggs
1 cup ketchup, divided
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then fit the sheet with a wire rack. Brush a 10-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with olive oil and place on rack; set aside. Place saltines in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade; pulse until fine crumbs form. You should have about 1 cup crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and add ground beef.
  • On the large holes of a box grater, grate carrot (should measure 1 cup grated) and onion (about 2/3 cup grated). Drain excess juice from onion. Add carrot and onion to meat mixture, then grate garlic on the fine holes of the grater (1 teaspoon). Add to bowl along with parsley, eggs, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire, 1 tablespoon Dijon, salt and pepper. Use hands to combine thoroughly. Transfer to prepared loaf pan.
  • Combine remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Dijon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and no sugar lumps remain.
  • Spread mixture evenly over top of meatloaf. Place in oven, atop wire rack and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Tent with foil if top begins to brown too quickly. Remove from oven and let cool 1 hour before slicing. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your meatloaf.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

Graham cracker meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover graham crackers, and it is also a fun and creative way to serve meatloaf.

If you are looking for a new and exciting way to make meatloaf, then you should definitely try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
