  • Prep Time

    1 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

  • A dozen pieces of white bread torn into bits
  • A generous amount of milk, measured at 2 ½ cups
  • A mixture of ground smoked ham, totaling 2 pounds
  • A pound of ground beef for flavor
  • Six beaten eggs to bind the ingredients
  • A pinch of salt, around a teaspoon
  • Dry mustard, about a teaspoon
  • Sweetness from brown sugar, 1/3 cup
  • Additional sweetness from a cup of brown sugar
  • Flour, approximately 2 teaspoons
  • Prepared mustard, two teaspoons for a tangy kick
  • Two tablespoons of distilled white vinegar to balance the flavors

Step 1

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for that perfect cooking temperature.

Step 2

In a large bowl, place the bread and generously pour milk over it, allowing it to soak until it becomes soft and ready. Proceed to mash it well before incorporating the flavorful ham, beef, eggs, a pinch of salt, dry mustard, and a touch of sweetness with 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Next, take a 9x13 glass baking dish and firmly pack the meat mixture into it, ensuring an even layer.

Step 4

For the delectable topping, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, flour, and prepared mustard in a separate bowl. Slowly stir in just enough vinegar until you achieve a smooth, spreadable paste. Carefully spread this delightful topping over the meat mixture in the baking dish.

Step 5

Pop the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour until the ground beef is cooked through and the topping has beautifully browned. Enjoy the delicious flavors that come together in this simple yet satisfying dish!
