To make Fareway ham loaf, combine ground ham, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, and seasonings, then shape into a loaf and bake at 350°F for about an hour.

Don’t forget to season it! A teaspoon of salt, a half teaspoon of black pepper, and a tablespoon of mustard work well.
Mix everything together until fully combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased baking dish.
For added flavor, you can brush the top with a bit of ketchup or brown sugar.
