2 pounds lean ground beef
2 beaten eggs
1 slice white bread, crumbled or ½ Progresso Italian style breadcrumbs
½ cup tomato juice
2 Tablespoons Parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon oregano
1 large onion, minced (or equivalent dry)
4 thin slices ham
Grated mozzarella cheese
Mix all ingredients except the ham and mozzarella cheese. Onto a long sheet of aluminum foil, pat out the mixture to 8 x 10 inches. Cover with ham and then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Using one end of the foil to start the roll, fold over the meat mixture and form into a roll, like a jelly roll, placing seam edge on bottom. Place in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for one hour and 15 mins. Just before serving, place added mozzarella cheese on top if desired and bake for 5 more minutes.
Can also freeze the meatloaf. Just thaw in the fridge, and bake as directed.
