MOIST HAM LOAF

Moist Ham Loaf image

Not only is this main dish special enough for entertaining, but I can assemble it early in the day and pop it in the oven before dinnertime. It seems much fancier than meat loaf, it's just as easy to make. Plus the cherry sauce really dresses it up, so guests think I fussed.-Nancy Brown, Dahinda, Illinois
