Pork Loaf image

This is a new-wave meatloaf! I just purchase a 1-pound piece of smoked ham at the deli department for this and chop it finely on my processor, any brand will do as long as it is a smoke flavor ham, or save some of your cooked leftover ham to make this! I have made it two times in one month, including today, and has become a favorite of my familys. You can use regular saltine crackers for this in place of whole wheat crackers, and red bell pepper can be substituted for green, or use both!

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 -6 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small bell pepper (green or red bell, seeded and finely chopped, or use half a pepper of both!)
1 1/2 lbs ground pork
1 lb smoked ham, finely chopped
1 cup whole wheat crackers or 1 cup saltine crackers, crushed
1 cup milk
2 large eggs, slighty beaten
salt and black pepper (I use about 1/2 teaspoon salt)

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add in onions and bell pepper/s; cook until veggies are tender, stirring occasionally (about 8-10 minutes) then cool the mixture completely.
  • In a large bowl mix together ground pork, ham, crushed crackers, milk, eggs, pepper, salt and the cooled onion/pepper mixture; mix well to combine.
  • Shape into an approx 9x5-inch loaf, and place onto a shallow greased baking pan.
  • Using a long knife, make shallow criss-cross (diamond) pattern in the top of of loaf.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile for the glaze blend the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • After 30 minutes of baking remove from oven and drizzle about 1/3 cup glaze over loaf and return to oven to bake for another 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, drizzle the remaining glaze over loaf and bake for about another 22-25 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 165°F.
  • Transfer the loaf to a platter; let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Pour the pan juices into a small bowl and whisk to blend.
  • Slice the loaf and serve with the pan juices.
  • Delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and my pork loaf turned out overcooked. I think I'll try cooking it for less time next time.
