Here are some handy tips to make your Weaver’s Ham Loaf experience even better:

Tips for Making Weaver’s Ham Loaf

Use Leftover Ham Wisely: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover holiday ham. The more flavorful the ham, the better your loaf will be. Don’t be afraid to mix different types of ham for a unique flavor.
Customize the Ingredients: Feel free to experiment with ingredients! You can add diced bell peppers, carrots, or celery for extra veggies, or substitute breadcrumbs with crushed crackers or panko for a different texture.
Enhance Flavor with Spices: Don’t hesitate to add your favorite herbs and spices. A pinch of garlic powder, thyme, or Italian seasoning can elevate the flavor profile.

Keep it Moist: If your mixture seems too dry, add a splash more milk or an extra egg. You want a moist consistency that holds together well but isn’t too wet.
Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your ham loaf is cooked perfectly, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
Let it Rest: Allow the ham loaf to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting period helps it set and makes it easier to cut without falling apart.

Serve with a Glaze: For an extra touch, consider brushing the top of the ham loaf with a mixture of brown sugar and mustard or a simple honey glaze during the last 10 minutes of baking. It adds a beautiful caramelized finish.
