Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

   Ongeveer 5 min

2. 2

   Grease a standard 23x13 cm (9x5 inch) loaf pan with the butter.

   Ongeveer 1 min

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground ham, ground pork, and ground beef.

   Ongeveer 2 min

4. 4

   Add the cracker crumbs, beaten eggs, milk, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.

   Ongeveer 2 min

5. 5

   Using your hands or a large spoon, gently mix all ingredients until they are just combined.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense, tough loaf.

6. 6

   Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and gently pat it down into an even layer.

   Ongeveer 2 min

7. 7

   Bake for 70 to 75 minutes, or until the loaf is browned and cooked through.

   Ongeveer 1 uur 15 min

   Tip van de kok: The internal temperature should reach 71°C (160°F) on an instant-read thermometer.

8. 8

   Remove the ham loaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes.

   Ongeveer 10 min

   Tip van de kok: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the loaf moist and making it easier to slice.

9. 9

   Carefully drain any excess fat from the pan before slicing and serving warm.
