4 lb. ground chuck
2 lb. ham sausage
1 can Italian tomatoes, drained (reserving liquid)
1 can Italian bread crumbs
1 (16 oz.) bottle steak sauce (your choice)
8 oz. ketchup (Hunts)
1/4 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Thoroughly mix together chuck and ham. Add tomatoes, crumbs, and 8 oz. steak sauce. Mix thoroughly. Shape into two large loaves. You may place loaves in bread pans or place in a 9x13-inch pan.

Bake for 20 minutes. Drain fat and reduce heat to 325°F.

Bake for one hour, draining fat off every 20 minutes. Moisten with juice if the loaves begin to look too dry. Mix together ketchup and 8 ounces steak sauce and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Pour over loaves and bake 20 minutes longer. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Recipe may be halved.
