I have been making this main dish for at least 20 years. I assemble it early in the day and just pop it in the oven when it's time.Gail Buss, Westminster, Maryland Ingredients:
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce or ketchup |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 pounds ground beef |
16 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1/4 pound thinly sliced deli ham |
additional spaghetti sauce, warmed, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
2. On a piece of heavy-duty foil, pat beef mixture into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Layer with six cheese slices, ham and six more cheese slices.
3. Roll up jelly roll-style, starting with a short side and peeling foil away while rolling. Seal seam and ends. Place seam side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 70 minutes or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Top with remaining cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional spaghetti sauce if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
