This Glazed Hawaiian Pork Roll is a favorite around here. Full of ground pork, bacon or ham, pineapple, onion, ginger and garlic! Delicious! This recipe is easy, fast and fabulous. Just the way we like them.
I love coming home and making something that takes little time to prepare that I can throw right into the oven and while it is baking I have time to get the sides prepared or just relax. This is that meal.
Always enjoyed by all, kids and adults alike, this dish will not disappoint! The flavors blend perfectly together and the glaze is fantastic! I usually only baste this meatloaf or roll once while baking and it is definitely worth it!
Ken, my husband, and I could not agree totally on the ingredients in this recipe. I love this recipe with the pancetta, ham or bacon and Ken prefers it without. It is the texture, not the taste, that bothers him.
Maybe I just don’t chop the bacon, ham or pancetta small enough for him? I don’t know but I think they add something special to this loaf. You are going to have to try it for yourself and please let me know your opinion. I am dying to hear what you think!
I have used both bread crumbs and panko crumbs to make this Glazed Hawaiian Pork Roll recipe and both turn out beautifully! Use whichever you have on hand!
I have substituted regular onion for the green onion and the recipe worked as well. I love the color the green onions bring to every bite! The favor is so similar that you really could use either to make this Glazed Hawaiian Pork Roll.
