This is how I've made this for years! (try 30) with the exception of a little less mustard and add in egg. Same way my mom made it. Look at the other recipes...but THIS is the one to make.

Dh wants to thank your hubby! Wonderful meal! Love the pineapple incorporated into loaf instead of just on outside. Perfect balance of flavors. Our grocery used to have ham loaf but alas when it was bought out that disappeared so have been on prowl for it and this is it. This would serve 8. It also would freeze well in raw state. I served ours with recipe#502461. Next time I will add an egg as it did fall apart and will add the onion. Have added to my oven 350 cook book. TY!

Just made this tonight. My husband LOVED it! He said, "You can make this again!" So I guess it's a keeper. I halved the recipe and it fed us both with seconds and with half leftover for later in the week. Oh yes, I did add an egg and served it with the leftover crushed pineapple. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Excellent recipe! Good combination of ingredients....not too spicy nor too sweet. Easy to prepare, so we will be enjoying this meat loaf often.

This is great!I thought it would be too sweet,but it was perfect.My local Deli sells ham "ends" for about a $1.50 a kilo (I live in Mexico),so this came out almost free for me.Thanks, we will be enjoying this often.
