Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2
Put the ground ham, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, and pepper into a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
3
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
4
Whisk the maple syrup and mustard together in a small bowl to make the glaze.
5
Brush half of the glaze over the loaf. Bake for 30 minutes.
6
Brush the loaf with the remaining glaze. Bake for another 25-30 minutes until the inside reaches 160°F.
7
Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes. Lift it out of the pan and slice.

Chef's tips

Line the loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes so it holds its shape when sliced.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers tightly wrapped for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat slices covered in a 325°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or in the microwave.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Slicing the meatloaf right away, which makes it crumble apart.
•Adding all of the glaze at the start, which can cause it to burn before the meat cooks through.
