Funeral Ham Loaf

This recipe was given to my mother by the sweet Methodist church ladies in Garden City, Kansas. They served these to us at my grandfather's funeral luncheon and now they are a family favorite. The original recipe serves 50, we find scaling down to 8 is just about perfect for our family.
