Recipe: Amish style Ham Loaf

I first tasted this recipe while travelling through Amish country a few years back. We stopped to have dinner a great little restaurant and this was one of the items they served. (family style of course)

This recipe is so easy… but really quite yummy. Great for sandwhiches or served at breakfast with eggs. This is pretty much homemade spam!
