Time 1h30m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds lean ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
1 cup tomato juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, minced
3 or 4 thin slices boiled or baked ham
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, tomato juice and seasonings.
  • In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add to the meat mixture; mix lightly. Turn mixture out onto a sheet of foil and flatten into an oblong shape, about 1-inch thick.
  • Place ham slices on meat, keeping them about 1 inch from the edge. Sprinkle grated cheese over ham.
  • Begin to fold the meat from one side to the other, rolling as you go. Pinch the ends to seal when the roll is complete. Turn loaf from foil into a greased 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes.
