Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (about 25)
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Dash ground nutmeg
Dash paprika
1-1/3 pounds finely ground fully cooked ham
1 pound bulk pork sausage
GLAZE:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground mustard

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Sprinkle ham and sausage over the cracker mixture and mix well. Shape into two loaves. Place in ungreased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and freeze one meat loaf for up to 2 months. Bake the remaining loaf, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove loaf from the oven; drain. Baste with half of the glaze. Cool remaining glaze and set aside. Bake meat loaf 30-40 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally.
Cover and freeze reserved glaze for up to 2 months.
To prepare frozen ham loaf with the frozen glaze: Thaw both in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
Yield: 2 loaves (6-8 servings each).
