Ham Loaf and Brown Mustard Sauce

Ham Loaf and Brown Mustard Sauce

Original recipe from Vivian Mowry, a teacher at Milwaukee West Division high school in the 1930s when my mom was also teaching there.  This was served to my parents at a party and immediately became one of my dad's favorites.  Mom usually served this with baked potatoes.

2 lbs ground ham  (easiest to buy ham steak or canned ham and grind it yourself)
1 lb ground pork
1 cup bread crumbs
1-1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
pepper to taste
Mix all above and bake in a ring mold or meatloaf pan set into a larger pan of hot water.  Bake for 1-1/3 hours (90 minutes) at 350 degrees F.  
(if like me you prefer to make multiple small loafs then the baking time will be only about an hour, but you must make your own best judgement about the baking time.)
The above MUST be served with the following sauce.

Brown Mustard Sauce
1/4 cup brown prepared mustard.  (I like stone ground or "deli" mustard)
1 beef boullion cube
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup vinegar  ( I prefer apple cider vinegar )
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup water
Mix brown sugar and flower well.  Add to other ingredients in a sauce pan and simmer gently while the meat is baking.
